Apr. 8th, 2011 10:32 amAnd unrelated to the Russian president and all the rest of it, yesterday I cut into my ricotta insalata, which had been treated to a salting process for a week and then aging for a week in the fridge.
It is damn fine cheese. Not as firm or as dry as store-bought ricotta insalata, but quite firm, and with a lovely texture. And not too salty, either (probably because I didn't rub it down with salt every single day the way the book said to). I love this cheese.
I have to see what temperature you need to age cheddar at. That takes months to age properly but it might be worth it. (Mind, I'd need a cheese press to get it right, but even so.)
