I'll have to post more later...<br /><br />Emma, I think people that made cheese were mainly in cooler climates and had cellars or cheese caves. It needs to be cool (12degC ish) and humid, so that the cheese doesn't dry out. We have set up a cheese fridge with a thermostat, but its really hard to get the conditions right. Unfortunately our hot humid climate in QLD is not really suited to unpowered cheese storage! I think warm climates probably used more soft cheese that you eat right away rather than store.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-12960461079560886362012-10-18T11:16:49.826+10:002012-10-18T11:16:49.826+10:00(Of course, paying $6 for 2L of milk, I'm not ...(Of course, paying $6 for 2L of milk, I'm not likely to make much of my own cheese anyway.)Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10894865592266996002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-49143911794550086622012-10-18T11:16:02.000+10:002012-10-18T11:16:02.000+10:00I wonder how people prevented it going mouldy befo...I wonder how people prevented it going mouldy before fridges were invented. Cold store? Dig a big pit in the ground?<br /><br />Anyway, your cheesemaking adventures sound fun. I've only ever made soft cheeses, and felt somewhat suspicious about eating them. I think a cheesemaking course would do me good.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10894865592266996002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-35247685648061068092012-10-17T13:24:23.084+10:002012-10-17T13:24:23.084+10:00 That is neat that you are making cheese!

I think that people who make hard cheeses are very skilled. I will be looking forward to reading some more on the processes and storage of your cheese. Maybe I might give it a go one day!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295890728434904710noreply@blogger.com
