This is my first batch of crottions and the earliest I have made them. I have had some setting issues with my chevre' but it has turned out fine. This could be a major learning experience since these are a mold ripened cheese and a lot depends on moisture so that one does not get the dreaded slip skin. Right now they are draining and will be for the next 72 hours, 48 hours in the mold and then they are salted and drain for another 24 before being put in my beautiful cheese cave.(hint: my refrigerator) Can't wait to buy a used fridge to make into a total cheese cave!
The cheese curds just starting to drain and become crottins.
