Looks like Friday has become my cheese making day.  Today I figured I was due for another cheddar.  I wanted to have several of them on hand so I could let a few age long time.  I really like a very sharp cheddar.  I got to thinking about Vermont White Cheddar.  It’s a patented name, so I can’t very well use it.  So I decided to make an ABC cheese - Arkansas Blonde Cheddar!  My milk is a bit too creamy to make a really white cheese anyway; but it’s a terrific blonde.  And, after all, blondes have more fun!

I like the name ABC. Good luck with your blonde.

Thanks.  I’ve always been partial to blondes. . . . and brunettes, and auburns, and redheads. . . . .

I’ll post some pics this afternoon.  It came out of the press last night and it drying now.  Lookin’ good.

OK, so here is the promised pic.  Been drying now for a day and a half; and I’ll likely seal it tonight and put it to age.  With the store of cheese I now have in my cave (about 30 lbs.), I should be able to age this one significantly for a really sharp cheese.
