Cheesemaking Workshops

This winter, our local cheesmaking guru, Caitlin Hunter at Appleton Creamery will be holding a number of cheesemaking workshops.

The first workshop (two-day), “Home Cheesemaking,” focuses on cheeses that can be made in the average home kitchen without having to go out and buy additional equipment. On day one Caitlin will teach you how to make a jack cheese and it will be finished on the second day. Other cheeses to be made are: feta, ricotta, yogurt, a quick mozzarella, a lactic cheese and maybe even butter. Dates of classes: Dec. 28 and 29, Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, March 21 and 22, and April 25 and 26.

The second workshop, “Goat Cheese 101,” will focus on the making of fresh goat cheese or chevre. Dates of classes: Dec. 8, Jan. 19, Feb. 16, March 16, April 22 and April 24.
Fees for the classes are $125 for the one-day class and $225 for the two-day class. A non-refundable $50 deposit is required when you sign up for the class.
