#lemoldychallenge

Introducing our first Instagram photo contest! We are excited to bring you #LeMoldyChallenge, an invitation to cheese makers, mongers and cheese aficionados to share their pictures of moldy cheeses in their countless forms and colors.Le Cheese Geek would like to share their tasting sheet with you so that you can use it during your cheese tastings at home or with your colleagues.

This contest is a tribute to mold and the complex love-hate relationship that we have with it. Sometimes mold can be our worst enemy: it can take over our work and ruin our baby cheeses. When mastered, mold can also be our best friend, creating perfect rinds and always full of surprises. This is our chance to put mold in the spotlight and show everyone that it is not disgusting, but a beautiful indication that cheese is alive! pure life! We’re launching this challenge for fun as well, and because we love taking silly ideas very seriously, we’re putting together a jury of 5 world-class Parisian cheesemongers. We’ll gather on March 13th at @lafromageriegoncourt and chose the 3 best pictures based on totally subjective criteria.
