⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

✓ You’re brand new to cheesemaking and don’t know where to start.

✓ You’ve followed recipes exactly — but you aren’t satisfied with the results.

✓ You’ve avoided getting started because you don’t have a “cave” or the right tools.

✓ You’re afraid of wasting milk, time, or energy.

How this workshop sets you up for cheesemaking success.

✓ Visual and sensory cues: You won’t just be told how the curds behave — you’ll learn to feel it. You’ll be able to trust your hands, not just the instructions.

✓ Mistake-friendly and real-life tested: This isn’t lab cheesemaking. It’s designed for real kitchens, flexible schedules, and imperfect tools.

✓ One complete process, start to finish: You’ll follow one cheese all the way through — from culturing to pressing to tasting — so you don’t miss even the tiniest details.

How You’ll Make 5 Kinds of Cheese From 1 Pot of Milk

This isn’t just a cheesemaking demo — it’s a start-to-finish walkthrough of how cheese actually works, why it behaves the way it does, and how you can make it in your own kitchen with just the simplest of tools and real milk.

Whether you’re brand new or still struggling to get your footing, this workshop is designed to give you visible progress and practical wins — and cheese!

Step 1: Start with one basic cheese
Learn the foundations while making a hard cheese you’ll actually want to eat. You’ll follow along as I start by making one basic cheese in my kitchen. At key moments, I’ll scoop out some of the curds and transform them into other kinds of cheese like cottage cheese and queso fresco. Through this process, you will learn how to seamlessly make 5 different kinds of cheese, all from a single pot of milk.

Step 2: Transform your whey into more cheese
Waste nothing — and learn how to make the most of every drop. You’ll learn how to turn leftover whey into ricotta, and then how to press some of that ricotta into yet another kind of cheese. You’ll also save a bit of whey to culture the next day’s batch, just like the traditional cheesemakers.

Step 3: Master the aging options (without the fancy setup)
Understand how aging works and choose the method that fits your kitchen and comfort level. I’ll compare natural rinds, vac sealing, and wine-fridge aging — and explain when and why each one works. You’ll learn which cheeses work best with the simplest of aging techniques so that you’ll be able to age cheese without a fancy cave.

Is this workshop right for you?

This workshop is a great fit if …

✓ You’re new to cheesemaking — or you’ve dabbled but still feel unsure about your results.

✓ You’ve followed recipes or watched tutorials but still don’t trust your cheeses will turn out right.

✓ You want to understand why things happen in cheesemaking, so you’ll know when things are going right or wrong.

✓ You’re overwhelmed by tools, caves, or terminology and just want practical guidance to get started.

✓ You’re excited to make real cheese in a real kitchen, with ordinary tools and no perfection required.

This workshop might NOT be the best fit if …

✗ You’re looking for advanced techniques on blue cheese, bloomy rinds, or specialized aging conditions.

✗ You expect detailed instruction on freeze-dried (DVI) cultures, strain types, or dosage adjustments.

✗ You’re using store-bought or goat’s milk and want highly specific, tested guidance. (See the caveat below.)

✗ You prefer quick recipe-style demos rather than full-process walkthroughs.

✗ You already have a cheese cave, consistent results, and a troubleshooting system that works.

Caveat: This course is based on cheeses made with fresh cow’s milk and natural cultures. The workshop recipes and techniques can be adapted for store-bought or goat’s milk, and I’ll provide a few tips to set you up for success, but I am unable to offer tailored support for cheesemaking with those kinds of milk.

FAQ

Will this work for beginners?
Absolutely. This workshop is designed with beginners in mind. You’ll be guided step-by-step through the entire process — from culturing the milk to aging — using simple tools and clear explanations. No prior cheesemaking experience needed.

How much time will this take?
The workshop is pre-recorded and can be watched within just a couple of hours (or at your own pace). The cheesemaking workshop activities can be completed in a single morning with a few followup tasks later that same day.

What if I don’t have fancy tools or a cheese cave?
No problem. You’ll see exactly how to make 5 cheeses using just a pot, spoon, thermometer, and a few other basic items. I also walk you through aging options that work in regular kitchens — no special equipment required.

It can! That said, the workshop is based on fresh cow’s milk. I provide general guidelines for how to work with other kinds of milk, but I don’t offer detailed instructions.

What do I get when I join?
> Video demonstrations of the cheesemaking process
> Printable PDFs with instructions, tools, recipes, and troubleshooting tips
