Cheesemaking 101

The Basics
The same basic steps are involved in the production of any cheese. With few exceptions, milk is cultured, coagulated, moulded, salted, and ripened.

Like any thing else, cheese is better appreciated when fully understood. We've compiled this little course, cheesemaking 101, to better help you understand how milk turns into cheese... and, just as important, how small differences each step of the way create different types of cheese by the end of the process.

And, of course, we invite you to come visit our farm and see the cheesemaking process first hand.
