Cheesepaste Too Stiff

[Matt White]

What's the best way to soften a batch of cheesepaste?

Its made with breadcrumb, stilton and mature cheddar.

I know there are other recipes or I could just throw it away but id like to salvage it as it smells fantastic.

Cheers

I'm no chef but a little bit of vegetable oil in a small batch could work ?

 

[Daniel Earl]

Veg oil / soya oil or butter

If it was me I would prob go down the butter route make sure it’s almost rock hard margarine is fine and re mould it all together a bit at a time untill you get where you need. Need it all together and you may just be alright

I use milk protein base mix now with a decent cheese flavour mainly because the mix is less faff in cold weathers

I do make a stiffer one for warmer times

I add a splash of this. I make mine up pretty much like this, it seems to stay soft enough.

I would buy some soft blue like Danish Blue or Saint Agur and add it until you get the right consistency

Saint Agur is too good for fish, if you put my SA in the river you'd be following it

I have to agree Bob - my favourite too
