So my efforts to produce a more moist cheddar continue.  I love the flavor of cheddar, but to date, my efforts have always been too dry.  Today I make yet another change.  In addition to using whole, raw, cream rich Jersey cow milk; I’m going to add an additional quart of cream to a 4 gallon batch.  Maybe, just maybe, the increased butter fat in the mix will allow it to retain more moisture.  The down side is that it will take at least 3 months before I can taste it and see if it’s right.  Patience has never been my primary virtue!!!

The more fat the more moisture, like bread, stays more moist with more oil in their.
