Washed Rind Monks Cheese Making Recipe

5 2 reviews
Print Recipe
This recipe is in response to what has been happening to the monastic cheeses produced for the past few hundred years, and their almost complete disappearance from our cheese counters here in America.

In his effort to support these cheeses, Jim Wallace applied his own adjustments to give us another of his unique and fabulous recipes.

Help keep the history of monastery cheeses alive by sharing this sweet, washed rind cheese with your friends and family, it is sure to be a favorite.
