Description

There are so many ways to make mozzarella cheese.  Slow ways, fast ways, or a mixture of the two and using hot water or a microwave for the heating process.  I have tried lots and settled on this as my favourite for both speed and flavour.  It does require you to measure pH though.  The upside is that this method is super quick and fool proof with guaranteed cheese stretch and good flavour.

This Mozzarella recipe uses just citric acid alone as the acidifier and we add flavour with lipase.

It is fair to say that making Mozzarella is a little more challenging than some cheeses.  I speak to many that have watched YouTube videos, given it a go, and then been unhappy with the result.  If this is you, come along to this class and learn some tips for success.

Cream cheese is a very versatile cheese that can be made with minimum effort and is very cost effective.  This recipe yields around 500g of cream cheese from 2 litres of supermarket bought jersey cow milk. It is a delicious naturally fermented product that avoids the thickeners, emulsifiers, stabilizers and acidity regulators present in commercial cream cheese.

You will also be shown how to make naturally fermented sour cream, leaving you wondering why you would ever buy this product again!

This is a down to earth practical demonstration on how to make cheese in your home kitchen.  All three items that you will be shown how to make will be available for tasting on the day.

The class will start at 12.30 pm and will finish around 4.30 pm.  Classes are held in our home kitchen at 3/1314 West Coast Road, West Melton.
