The curd, which may or may not be cut ... is scooped into moulds and left to drain. The high moisture of the curd and the humidity of the maturing rooms attract a bitter-tasting, grey, hairy mould called "cat-fur". To discourage this, the newly formed cheese is rubbed with or dunked in baths of salty water, wine or a similar alcoholic liquid. 2, record 1, English, - washed%2Drind%20cheese

[...] fromages soumis à des lavages; ils sont un peu plus secs que les précédents [fromages à croûte fleurie] car les moisissures ne peuvent se développer à leur surface et il se forme une croûte lisse de couleur orangée qui combat la déshydratation de la pâte [...]. Pour assurer un taux d'humidité interne convenable et une fermentation adéquate, ces fromages sont placés en atmosphère humide dans des toiles humectées d'une solution (saumure, vin et épices, bière ou eau-de-vie). 1, record 1, French, - p%C3%A2te%20molle%20%C3%A0%20cro%C3%BBte%20lav%C3%A9e

[...] les pâtes molles à croûte lavée [...] suivent le même parcours que les croûtes fleuries. Ce sont l'affinage et le brossage qui leur donneront leurs caractéristiques. [...] Au hâloir, salé au sel sec, le fromage va «prendre le bleu», un duvet de moisissures qui sera aussitôt éliminé par un lavage avec un linge humide ou un brossage dans la saumure [...] 3, record 1, French, - p%C3%A2te%20molle%20%C3%A0%20cro%C3%BBte%20lav%C3%A9e
