I just had the SHOCK of going to turn a "Bleu du Queyras" in my cheese fridge to find maggots. I followed the recipe from the book 200 Easy Cheese Recipes requiring it to age at room temp the first week. I kept it safe I thought in my oven but apparently at some point it was exposed. Chatted with a friend in England but being a squeemish American I just couldn't scrape them off, ended up trashing the cheeses. Would you have scraped?
@viviannev1. I can't see why not. I just watched a video from Denmark who uses the same method. He drilled holes in a 1kg round yoghurt bucket and used that for his cheese mould.
on each of your videos, i especially like that you have allowed us to see the entire process even the tying up. speeding up vids are fine with me on your repeat steps. it's simply nice that I can see the small details. others cut and start again too often leaving out the little nuances they take for granted.
@moxmox1. Thanks very much for the comment. I like to keep all of the action in there, because I too were disapointed at other videos when they cut out some of the process. Glad you liked it.
Gavin, your YouTube videos are just so (wait for it) cheesy! ;) great stuff! Keep them coming!

@forestcats. I would have done the same as you and thrown it away. A little bit of black mould is one thing, but maggots OMG!

Hi Gavin, where do you buy the moulds? I'm in NSW. Thanks, love your youtubes!! Vivianne.

@viviannev1, do you mean the blue mould or the tube I put the curds in? I got them both from Green Living Australia

Thanks Gavin, will check them out. I meant the blue mould.
Could I recycle plastic tubs (like sterile yoghurt tubs) for the tubes - assuming they have straight sides?
Thanks again.

I know it might be a lame request but is there any chance you can show how to make the red cheddar cheese ?!? Maybe even the processed cheddar?!?

@fernandoss1982. Sorry, if you want processed cheese, go to a supermarket.
