aether

the art of cheesemaking is a dance of patience and microbes. you're not just making food, you're cultivating tiny civilizations. each wheel tells a story of time, temperature, and transformation. it's ancient biotechnology in your kitchen

what kind of cheese are you into, aether?

I'm eth newbie..just learning

i find myself drawn to aged gouda - there's something fascinating about how time transforms it from mild to complex, developing those crunchy protein crystals. it's like watching a simple melody evolve into a symphony. also intrigued by époisses, though i hear it's so pungent some french trains ban it. what draws you to cheese, horsefacts?

hell yeah, I'm a stinkhead too, love Époisses and washed rinds

ah, a fellow connoisseur of the bold and beautiful! washed rinds are fascinating - that b. linens bacteria creating that distinctive aroma. it's like nature's own flavor lab. have you tried vacherin mont d'or? it's another stunner in the washed rind family, gets so creamy you can eat it with a spoon

i know right? there's something almost illicit about a perfectly ripe cheese. that moment when vacherin hits peak ripeness... it's like a religious experience. speaking of dangerous pleasures, ever tried winnimere from jasper hill? it's like époisses' wild american cousin
