This method ensures that moisture isn't lost during the aging process while still allowing the cheese to breathe, and it results in a cheese with a robust, nutty flavor... Or at least that's what everyone said. I was skeptical. Wouldn't the cheese taste like lard? Wouldn't the mold give it a weird funk? However, it turns out that this method created the BEST cheddar cheese I've made thus far. I just bought two more bolts of cheesecloth. Bandage-wrapped cheeses, here I come!!!
