Unlock the secrets of homemade Italian cheese in this hands-on crash course. Learn the art of crafting fresh mozzarella and creamy ricotta from scratch, with expert guidance and seasonal accompaniments. No experience is required, just come prepared to roll up your sleeves and indulge in the world of cheese-making.
Mild and milky, smooth and silky: any way you stretch it, we love fresh mozzarella! And in this hands-on crash course we'll teach you how to make it at home. First we'll set you straight on coagulation as we tell you how milk turns from fluid to firm curds. Then we'll all roll up our sleeves to turn curds into the beautiful balls that we know as fresh mozzarella. Learn about selecting the right curd, proper water temperature, amount of salt and how to pull/fold to make your own mouth-watering ball of this Italian staple. You’ll get to sample cheese made right in front of you with seasonal accompaniments, then make your own to take home. Or just eat right there! You will also learn the simple and easy method used to make fresh ricotta. Ricotta is an Italian word that means ‘recooked’ – it describes the cheese made when whey is cooked again. In Italian cuisine, ricotta is a favorite component of many Italian desserts, such as cheesecakes and cannoli.
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you do not already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who is happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
