Private cheese making class at a farm

Private cheese making class at a farm

This is a hands-on experience where you'll learn the secrets of traditional cheese making at a small family-run farm.

You will be guided by skilled artisans whose families have been making cheese for generations.

Itinerary

You will make sheep or cow milk cheese (depends on the day booked) at a small dairy farm. In this hands-on experience you’ll learn how to heat the milk gently, add the milk-clotting enzyme called rennet, cut the milk solids (curds) to small pieces and stir them, separate the whey and press the curds into blocks that will later turn into a delicious cheese.

Each participant will make one-two small wheels of cheese.

At the end you’ll sit down for a tasting of different types of cheese and other local artisan produce.

On some days milking a cow will also be included in the class.

Various locations available.
