Making Cheese!

Today I have made my cheese using the polystyrene and muslin technique. I have chosen to make a Flanders cheese called Mimolette. It has a very rough whitish outer skin and then a bright orangey yellow inside. To create the texture on the top I was going to use this white paste called Idendum but I ran out of time and wanted to get my cheese finished for the next day so I used tissue paper and PVA and then painted it white with a yellow tinge.
