Hint: Pseudomonas is a bacterial contaminant that comes from the town water supply. It causes green, yellow, brown, pink spots on the surface of the cheese, it produces bitter putrid, rancid, pungent flavours on the cheese, it inhibits mould growth, as well as natural surface flora. It grows well at refrigeration temperatures. Florescent colours can be seen under UV light but they take several days to appear. Remedies by making sure that any washing of cheese is from boiled then cooled water, prevent handing cheese with hands still wet from the tap water. Geotrichum develops on the surface quickly and can limit the development of pseudomonas.

Cheesemaking

Thank you for Your Interest in a Cheesemaking Course

Making cheese prior to the course is not essential but it is very strongly recommended. I have found that over many years of providing cheesemaking courses, having some basic cheesemaking experience before you get to the course is an enormous help with taking in the information provided at the course.

To help you start to make cheese at home, there are several kits available, starting from $60 plus postage. Each kit has detailed instructions so that you can easily make lots of cheese in your own home, without having made cheese previously. See the range of available kits here. You can easily add to the kits once you have completed the course.

As an incentive to start making cheese, I am offering you a 5% discount on the price of any of the kits (excluding postage) - Just add the kit to your cart and use the code KIT at the checkout.
