So it was time to try it out.
At about 3 weeks of age, there is nice blue mold growth on the outside, and I'm pretty sure there's also some Camembert mold there.
It's quite mild, the interior is between a Sainte Maure style cheese and a very rich ricotta - it's nutty, creamy, a bit flaky, with a mild blue cheese note, and a bit too salty. The crust is a bit like a young Camembert, which is to say it is separable with a pleasant bite. It has a bolder flavor of blue cheese and Camembert but is still quite gentle.
Overall I'm super happy, next time I'll apply what I learned.
We ate one quarter of the 280g wheel (almost 10oz). We'll let the reminder age a bit more and have another go.
The mold pattern resembles a drawing of a stormy ocean, I think.
I'll be happy to share the instructions if anyone is interested, it was a fun experience and require no special ingredients.
