Similarity between smear-ripened and wash-rind cheeses

[edit]

The "practically edible food encyclopedia" suggests that washed rind cheeses are different than smear-ripened cheeses.[1] In "Cheese: Chemistry, Physics and Microbiology", Patrick Fox says they're synonyms. Most, if not all, of the cheeses described as washed-rind cheeses have the orange/red rind that supposedly indicates smear-ripening. I'm not sure who to believe. If someone wants to merge these two articles and categories, I'm okay with that. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 17:47, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here's one explanation that makes sense, but I'm not sure on the source.[2] - TheMightyQuill (talk) 18:19, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
