Last week was a short week, as we didn't work on Good Friday. Once again I spent my time at Gubbeen between helping with making cheese and curing cheese. Some of the first cheeses I made here were finally mature enougth for me to taste. I was very pleased with the results and so was Giana. I just need to fine tune them a little bit. I was able to explore the Irish country side by bike a little more this weekend. The rest of my time has been planing my trip to England and then on to Switzerland and Germany.

My first Irish Cheese is Ready!

Jon,
good to see your cheese came out. What kind of cheese is it? or is it a secret?
is it stinky? is it sweaty? is it hard or soft? we want to learn more.
What does it taste like?

Cheese hound,
The cheese I made is a semi soft cheese, with a nice creamy texture and a nutty finish. I do not know how else to explain it. I'm happy with how it turned out, I just need to fine tune it.

The following response came from the food safety specialist of Honduras. The translated version is first, followed by the originial message:
The adventure of visiting other countries and get involved with their procedures to make cheese, sanitary measures, new equipment and more appropriate technologies that allow cheese-maker sons to dream in making a honduran cheese that in a particular time could participate in an international contest and obtain the first place; only being able to talk with different characters like the cheese -maker masters allow young people to have a new perspective about the art of making a product, and when is tasted, smelled and touched will let you have a well-being feeling allowing you to digress, and have a pleasant dreams avoiding stress and extending life. I'm pleased to send this article.

wow ! Amazing thanks to admin.. you gotta such a great contribution towards the cheese production..
Hi Jon,
I wonder if you could recommend a course or cheese plant(s)/farm(s) to stay in/ for a week maybe and learn how to make cheese. No cheese or place is mentioned intentionally.
To let you know a little bit about me, I am a dairy farm owner, who is currently doing cheese, at a very small scale in Panama, Central America.
I think "Traveling Cheesemaker" is the best job ever! To bad Im not one.....yet. :) Thanks.
