What makes cheese "sharp"?

Pick · Jul 26, 2010

I love "extra sharp" cheddar cheese. Since a fellow at work has fresh whole milk from his cows, I am going to start making cheese this fall. I'll start out simple and work my way up.
But, my ultimate goal is Blue Cheese.

The sharp flavor comes from extended aging.

Blue cheese is made like other cheeses, but then the penicillum bacteria is added. It's not any harder at all.

the nice thing about bleu(ue) cheese is that you can use your favorite blue as a culture for it and hopefully succeed in recreating the flavor.

How do you age cheese if you don't have a cave?
