REGISTER ONLINE FOR CHEESEMAKING CLASSES

Your friend will be thrilled to receive a gift certificate for a cheesemaking class!  Please note, you yourself will need to make a nice card and give it to them, I don't send out an actual paper certificate and emails are too impersonal. 

Remember, after you buy the certificate, someone must actually let me know which class the person wants to sign up for.

ALL-DAY CHEESE MAKING WEEKEND WORKSHOPS, CHOOSE ONE DAY OR BOTH. 9:00 am - 5:00 pm,  ST. LOUIS, MO many dates.  HERMANN MO. April 21/22, 2012.  (ARTHUR, ILL / ARCOLA, ILL Spring, 2012 write if interested)

(For classes in other cities, contact me to schedule, and scroll down to view current ones.  You do NOT need to take the Basic Class first.)

One each day will make three or four different types of cheeses from start to press. Each requires a completely different method, so you'll learn a FULL ARRAY of accurate cheesemaking techniques in every class.  Then you'll be prepared to make nearly any type of cheese once you return home.  You will take home an excellent direction packet to remind you of what we did.

You will get your hands into these cheesemaking processes, using all your senses to observe the changes which go along with the scientific explanations. You will learn the correct textures for the curds of each cheese.  Also, understand why it is important to monitor and control pH, moisture, temperature and salt, in order to create consistent, tasty cheeses.  There's a LOT you can learn and it's simple if someone shows you how.

You will see my aging cabinet, and we will discuss aging areas from the simple to a big project. If your recipes just aren't working now, or you are aiming to make more or better cheese than before, or you're thinking of starting  a cheesemaking business, come and get your questions answered!  You will NOT bring home cheese - you will bring home the knowledge to make all your favorites.

You do NOT need to take the Basic Class first.  Anyone can learn this from square one.

At the end of the St. Louis classes, you may watch the goats being milked.

Bring your own LUNCH and snacks and water bottle, we will eat HERE during the class.  (NO time to eat out.)  Also, bring pen & paper for notes.  Bring money for supplies so you can start making cheese at home right away. 

SATURDAYS:  Traditional Cheddar, Alpine/Swiss, Camembert, and Ricotta.

SUNDAYS:  Blue Cheese, Gouda, Traditional Mozzarella (not the quickie citric acid type), Ricotta. Also we will finish up the cheeses from Saturday.
