Stilton #1 - rind development after 8 weeks

I decided to check up on the Stilton as its been nearly 8 weeks in a vac-bag. As you can see the rind development has been running wild. It spells like a Stilton and seems to be maturing well. I noticed one area was a little too damp so I left the vac-bag open a little to see if it will dry out slightly. There was also some pinkish mold which occurs if the cheese is too moist. Hopefully there will be some blue viens inside, Ill test the cheese at the end of July.
