We Ate the Cheese

“You know, we could eat our cheese soon—it has been almost two months.” Me
“Let's do it.” Adam
“Now?” Me
“Yeah now, we will slice a section off, share it with the kids and I will re-wax the other half.” Adam
“Let’s wait. ok fine. Just do it.” Me

And with just that, Adam headed down to his cheese cave in the cellar, grabbed the farmhouse cheddar we made on the day after Christmas and sliced into it. It felt like we should have had more ceremony, but it was fun to finally see what was hidden and aged inside the thick black layers of cheese wax. Quite lovely actually, a bright cream color. It was a dry crumbly cheddar that was kind of sharp. I don’t eat cheese so once I started it was a little bit hard to stop. Stomach ache to follow, but it was a good first cheese! I am proud of us.
