Advanced Cheese Theory
This is an all-day class that runs from 10AM to 4PM and includes breakfast, coffee, full lunch of all-Kookoolan ingredients, and extravagant cheese tasting (which you'll be walked through by Mary Rosenblum). Come hungry, and expect to leave full!
This class takes you beyond following a cheese recipe out of a book. You will learn the processes going on in that pot of milk as the enzymes in rennet coagulate the milk and the curd becomes a ripe and flavorful cheese. The demonstration cheese for this class is Burrata, a stuffed mozzarella. Understanding the relationship of proteins in the milk, the butterfat, and what the culture bacteria you added are actually doing, will give you a much better understanding of your results, both good results and not so good results. You'll begin to understand how to make changes that will give you the texture and flavor you really want in your finished cheeses.
The class includes a cheese tasting plate featuring examples of the major types of cheeses as well as an excellent lunch prepared from all-Kookoolan ingredients. $95 per person, reservations required.
