Maturing

 

Once drained and removed from the mould, the cheese is left to dry slightly in the open air.

Then it is placed on lattices in a drying room at 8 to 15° with a hygrometre at 80 90%.

During this maturation period, which lasts from 6 days to 2 months, the cheeses is turned over several times until it produces a thin, slightly wrinkled, film, that is creamy in colour taking on a slight blue tinge towards the end of maturation.
