Cheesemaking Workshop

Discover the rewarding art of traditional cheesemaking and learn how to transform fresh milk into a variety of delicious homemade dairy products. This hands-on workshop is perfect for beginners, and anyone interested in learning more about traditional food preparation, fermentation, and sustainable home food production.

During the workshop, you will explore the science behind milk fermentation and gain an understanding of the processes that turn milk into a range of nutritious and flavourful products. We will discuss the essential ingredients, equipment, cultures, and techniques needed to make both soft and hard cheeses, as well as other fermented milk products such as yogurt, milk kefir, koumiss, and cultured butter.

The workshop will include a live demonstration of making fresh cottage cheese and mozzarella from start to finish. Participants will have the opportunity to observe each step of the process, ask questions, and learn practical techniques that can be easily replicated in a home kitchen.

Of course, no cheesemaking workshop would be complete without tasting! Participants will enjoy samples of the freshly made cheeses and experience the flavours and textures that make homemade dairy products so special.

Whether you are interested in creating your own artisan cheeses, expanding your fermentation skills, or simply enjoying the satisfaction of making food from scratch, this workshop will provide the knowledge and confidence to get started.

Detailed recipes, resource notes, and step-by-step instructions will be emailed to participants after the workshop, allowing you to continue your cheesemaking journey at home.
