The origins of the red rind
Washed rind cheese is a red-bacterial cheese known for its ochre to orange-red colour. The characteristic rind the cheeses get is created during the ripening process. During ripening, the cheeses are washed two to three times with salt water, wine or beer mixed with a certain bacterial mixture. The bacteria develop slowly and create a red glow and a special flavour.
