Know Your Food: Cheesemaking - The Next Level - Soft Cheeses

Do you love a ripe camembert or blue-veined stilton? We will explore the world of bacteria, molds, and milk and the delectable aged cheeses they can produce. We will cover the various microbes used, how to work with them, and how to ripen the resulting cheese. Mold ripened cheeses may not be easy but they are delicious! Drumlin Farm is committed to the concept of eating locally, eating well, and supporting sustainable lifestyles. By learning more about our food - how it is grown, where it comes from, and how to prepare it - we increase our understanding of sustainability, stewardship, and the relationship between us, our food choices and the environment. These programs will encourage discussion and offer opportunities to share and have a good time while becoming more informed about food, farming, and the environment. Registration is required.
