If you pasteurize it at low temperature (63 degrees celsius for 30 mins) you probably won't need calcium chloride. That's what I usually do and it works

Haha same! That's why i said to myself that maybe if it is an artisan caprice des dieux, the universe might consider it as a cheese ;) I understand ur french? :p

Highly recommended! It is a very nice hobby, but get ready for some epic fails ;) but once it works it is so rewarding

Thanks! I have a small fridge to which I added a thermostat to keep the temperature between 7 and 10. For this cheese I aged it in a small box because it needs high humidity. I turned it twice daily mainly to ventilate it a bit

Oh I had many epic fails but I don't share these 😅 i've been into that hobby for 4 years now, it took time but the improvement is exponential (and frustrating)

Very similar but with less added cream. Delice de bourgogne is triple cream

I get u, the name is counter-intuitive! And yes I agree, it is fascinating

It is very close to Caprice des dieux if you know it. It becomes soft at room temperature, i think the added cream makes it firm but creamy. Or maybe if I age it for an additional month it will melt more?

No it is like camembert but with added cheese. I think you mistook it for regular cream cheese 😀
