Goat's milk cheese has been a staple in households around the world for centuries. Every region has its own style of making goat cheese that highlights the distinctive features of where the cheese is produced — from the bloomy rinds of the Loire Valley to the experimental and inventive wheels of new American artisan cheesemakers.
In this class, Taylor Hartson, a farmstead cheesemaker at Verdant Hollow Farms, will teach us how to make four kinds of cheese from a simple lactic goat's milk curd, just by tweaking the cultures, the shape, and the aging style. We'll talk about how to select and source ingredients for cheesemaking, demonstrate the key steps of the process, and, of course, taste a variety of goat's milk cheese produced right here in southwest Michigan.
