<br>Everyone that is keen on participating will be given a small cheese to take care about, using only your own judgment and fantasy. There is no “good way” to ripen cheese, as every scenarios can bring different textures and tastes, depending on temperature, moisture, flipping, packaging, etc. As long as it is protected from flies and other animals, every cheese might be edible after 1 month of your care.
