Do I get to take home the cheeses thayt I make?

Yes. You get to take home over 1.5kg of cheese.

Do you provide lunch?

Yes. Lunch depends on the season. In the cooler months, we provide Paneer curry & rice. In the warmer months, we provide Bruschetta and bread (or corn wafers for those who are gluten intolerant). Both options are vegetarian.

What do we need to bring?

You need to wear clean clothes & shoes (no thongs, sandals or open toe shoes). You will need a carry bag to take home you cheese. We will provide containers for you to put your cheese in. Can you also bring along a cary bag to take home some of the empty milk bottles for recycling in your home bin.

What time do the workshops start?

Normally they start at 10am on Saturdays and 9am on Sundays. In some locations, we also start at 9am on Saturday. See the specific workshop listing for start times.

Will the course always end at the scheduled time?

We aim to finish the workshop at the scheduled time, however we are working with natural processes when making cheese & sometimes they take longer than expected. You should allow up to a 30 minute time over run. The workshop leader should be able to accurately estimate the actual completion time.

Do you use vegetable rennet in the workshops?

Yes we do. We will explain the different types of rennet during the workshop. Most cheese in Australia is made with vegetable rennet these days.

Do you provide a gluten free food alternative?

Yes. We supply rice crackers (gluten free) as well a gluten based crackers with our cheese platters.

What do we provide as part of the workshop?

We provide everything that you need to make at least 1.5kg of cheese that you can take home with you. We provide packaging for the take home cheeses. We provide food & refreshments throughout the workshop.

What do I get to take home?

You will make at least 1.5kg of cheese that you can take home. We also ask that you take home 4 x 3litre empty milk bottles for placement in your recycle bin. This helps distribute the recycle load, as often the recycle bins at the venue are full.
