I took both of these cheeses to the class to taste. \u00a0They are now 9 weeks old, but we decided to try them. The recipe from cheesemaking.com blog was very sharp, it made your tongue tingle a bit. The other that had the extra buttermilk culture turned out creamier and with a bit better taste. \u00a0It also has saffron threads in it and so I have been referring to that cheese as the saffron Manchego, now saffron \u00a0Hispanico. Anyway, I cut a third of each wheel off to eat and I have re-waxed the rest to age some more. \u00a0I can&#8217;t wait to see if it gets better further down the road.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the things that bothers me about cheese is that there are dozens of recipes for the same cheese. \u00a0So recipes go as far\u00a0as using different cultures for the same cheese. \u00a0So I found two recipes for Manchego that looks good and I decided to make both. \u00a0I also was looking for a way to make cheese more cheaply&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hardcheese"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/cheese.sunspotdesign.com\/cheese\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/cheese.sunspotdesign.com\/cheese\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/cheese.sunspotdesign.com\/cheese\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cheese.sunspotdesign.com\/cheese\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cheese.sunspotdesign.com\/cheese\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/cheese.sunspotdesign.com\/cheese\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":138,"href":"http:\/\/cheese.sunspotdesign.com\/cheese\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31\/revisions\/138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/cheese.sunspotdesign.com\/cheese\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cheese.sunspotdesign.com\/cheese\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cheese.sunspotdesign.com\/cheese\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
