About 150 holes are made in each cheese. This favors the development of the penicillium throughout the interior of the cheese. Wellmade cheese may be kept for a year or longer.

As seen upon the markets in this country, the surface of the cheese is covered with a thin coat resembling clay, said to be prepared by mixing barite or gypsum, lard or tallow, and coloring matter.
