Intro to Hard Cheese and Cheese Curds

We will start by making a delicious cheddar cheese or Italian cheese that uses simple ingredients and minimal equipment.  It only needs to age 1 week, or can age years (if you are patient).  Plus, you will learn how to age cheeses, wax a mini cheese wheel, and find out how to make a cheese press.  You will get to sample cheese, as well as make cheese curds to eat during class and take home some left-overs.

Menu:

• Homemade Cheddar Cheese Curds
• Buffalo Fried Cheese Curds with homemade bluecheese dressing
• Poutine Potato Poppers
