So what happens when we go on vacation? Well, we need a cheese sitter. This past fall, as we flew out to visit Madeline in England, we needed our affinage sidekick Shawna to step in and help wash our Reblechons. With her help, we produced one of the best Reb's we've made to date.
Today we fly out for Florida as we test the waters on a Caribbean cruise (no - not Carnival!). Shawna again will be playing the role of cheese sitter; a job title that has garnered more than one, "Did I hear you say that correctly?" from our friends at work! She will be turning and caring for our latest 3lb wheel of Manchego. It's a simple duty, but the wheel will age unbalanced and over-mold if left alone. And when you spend three to six months of daily effort on one cheese, you really don't want it going to waste! Here's to you - Cheese Sitter! Your affinage rocks!!!
