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?

@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.

@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.

@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.
