We opened a Leiden cheese that was ready to eat on 6 July (cheese number 25).  It was so keen to be eaten, it was coming out of the wax to meet us.  The wax had domed with gas.  When I cut the wax a very pungent gas burst out.  The cheese is delicious – very creamy and strong, with a lot of gas holes inside it.
