Description
Join a small group for a step-by-step workshop on traditional Dutch cheese-making in a personal, authentic environment rather than a factory or tourist center.
Participate actively from fresh milk to curd, pressing, and shaping. The cheesemaker explains each stage, why it matters, and how small differences influence taste and texture.
The focus is on Dutch white cheese, young, fresh, and unwaxed. At the end, you take home the cheese you made as a tangible reminder of the process.
The workshop begins with an introduction to Dutch cheese traditions and craft. Learn to process milk into curd, cut, heat, and press it, and understand ripening, flavor development, and variations. Taste and compare different cheeses along the way.
