Does anybody ever make cheese with nuts inside of it? I have read some recipe with pistachio’s before but I don’t remember where, and I don’t remember if the cheese was coated with the nuts or if they were inside of the cheese.

I think it might not be logical, the nuts would probably be mush, but it sounds good.

Rambol is a processed cheese with nuts. I can buy it here in every supermarket, but I’m afraid I don’t have a recipe.
I’m pretty sure there are a lot of others that I’m not aware of…

The issue would be the preserving the nuts so sthey dont get mold, marinate salt them or suger them so they dont go bad.

I looked up the Rambol, it appears to have walnuts in it, but that’s just from the pictures I found. I found a post on another cheese forum where someone was asking for a recipe but obviously didn’t get it. I’m going to think about it some more. A cheese with pecans or walnuts would be great.

And I’m pretty sure it was there that you saw the pictures that I added  
I had a quick look in “The guide to west coast cheese” but did find a “nutty” cheese there too….

I did see those. I am tnbquilt but I hardly ever post anything there. I read it a pretty good bit though.

Have a look at This, Not much but maybe worth a try. http://www.ehow.com/how_6863913_do-make-french-rambol-cheese_.html

Thanks Vanknife, looks like a pretty akward recipe to me though…

No culture, just let it sit in a closet for a few months. I wouldn’t do that one. I’d forget it and it would spoil.

...and no salt is used to preserve it….

That’s why I stated “Maybe worth a try”, as I am not at all a cheese master I have made some hard cheeses (6) starter culture and salt is a must for anything cheese.

Yes Tammy, I did.
It was about three and a half years ago, a lactic type cheese with PC and with PC + charcoal washed rind.
I poached the wallnuts and pat them dry.
It was very unique and tasty as well. It is recommended to try.

Lovely pictures! I feel better now knowing that it does work. How long did the cheese age? Did the walnuts go mushy? I see that it had a nice white mold on the outside and the texture looks very nice.

Nice pics Alex !

Tnx Tammy,

The PC bloomed cheese is 3 weeks old and the other one 8 weeks old.
The wallnuts weren’t mushy at all.
