I think it came out pretty well, not much you can tell from a photo I guess. Tastes good!
This is the only cheese I have made other than feta, I am brand new to this.
If you're looking for books, I would really recommend "Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking" (http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Artisan-Cheesemaking-Home-Scale-Producers/dp/1603583327).
I have this book as well as "Artisan Cheese Making At Home" (http://www.amazon.com/Artisan-Cheese-Making-Home-World-Class/dp/1607740087).
I must say, I much prefer the former; it contains tons and tons of science that the second one doesn't get into. I don't think its abundance of information is crippling, though - I found it easy enough to skip over the parts that were too technical at first, starting out with some of the easier cheeses; but when I started understanding the basics, there was more in-depth material to look through.
Also, the recipes in the first book are more like general guidelines that help define the style of the cheese while affording you more creative control. The recipes in the second book are much more rigid and, I thought, less intuitively organized. (For example, in the first book, there is a section on white mold-ripened cheeses, which are all pretty similar in fundamental ways. In the second book, the cheeses are lumped into "Easy", "Intermediate", etc, which I don't find as useful an organizing principle.)
I'm a beginner, too, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I'm going to buy this book.
Oh damn. You have a lot of stuff. I would do something akin to a camembert or brie since you have P Candidum for the rind. Or a creamy Bleu with the Roquefort culture.
You can skim some of the cream off the top and make it into creme fraise and then make something called cream fraise brie.
I've got this book: https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Artisan-Cheesemaking-Home-Scale-Producers/dp/1603583327
and this book: https://www.amazon.com/Artisan-Cheese-Making-Home-World-Class/dp/1607740087/ref=pd_sbs_14_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=FE9XYH23F30GN46DCRTP
...at home. Do you want me to try to pull some bloomy rind recipes for you? Shoot me a PM. I'll be home later and can look for you. I don't mind doing a bit of transcribing or I can just take a picture of a couple recipes and send em your way.
I've made cheddars, blue cheeses, camembert, asiago, monchego, chèvre, feta, and variety of stinky tommes. Built a cheese press that can push over 400#. Made pounds and pounds of it. I have over 14 county fair ribbons (best in show) and have taught cheesemaking. I started in cheesemaking and moved into brewing. Now, I don't make cheese that often since I got into brewing. Brewing is way quicker to result and less intense to me. Sanitation is all important. There is no 'hot side:cold side". It's all cold side. A pH meter that goes to .01 is key - keep that in mind when getting one for brewing.

With all the success, I still can't make a successful mozzarella! It's a hard one to get right.
To me, THE book to get is by Gianaclis Caldwell. I've met her and she is a genius at this stuff:
http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Artisan-Cheesemaking-Home-Scale-Producers/dp/1603583327/ref=la_B003FADS9C_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1411727727&sr=1-1
I liked The Art of Natural Cheese Making by David Asher. While the author can be a little political at times, I find his approach closer to making beer than other books. Another good one is Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking by Gianaclis Caldwell.
I should say that I've had mixed luck following Asher's methods. Some of my cheese have been great, but others disasters. I suspect that humidity control is more important and difficult than I thought. Asher lives on an island off of Vancouver, which probably makes humidity and temperature control a simpler prospect. In addition to some technical changes to temp and humidity, I'm going to try a different milk source to see if that was my issue.
Good luck!
