About this Event
Get ready to turn fresh milk into cheese with your own hands.
The Cheese Fella offers two practical cheesemaking workshops, each focused on a different fresh Italian cheese. Choose the one that interests you most, or book both for the complete experience.
Choose Your Workshop
Mozzarella Workshop
Learn how to transform fresh milk into curd, recognise when the curd is ready to stretch, and shape your own fior di latte using traditional techniques.
Burrata & Stracciatella Workshop
Begin with fresh milk and follow the process through to the finished cheese. You’ll make the curd, prepare creamy stracciatella, and learn how to stretch, fill and close your own burrata by hand.
What’s Included
Each workshop includes:
- approximately four hours of hands-on cheesemaking
- your own individual pot and workstation
- all ingredients and equipment
- guidance throughout every stage of the process
- a workshop booklet
- a light lunch/snack
- your handmade cheese to take home
No previous cheesemaking experience is required. Each session is limited to 15 participants so that everyone can take part in the complete process.
Meet Your Cheesemaker
Your workshop will be led by Vito, a third-generation cheesemaker from Southern Italy.
Drawing on generations of family tradition and years of professional experience, Vito will guide you through the process and help you understand what to look for as the milk and curd change at each stage.
Simply bring a cooler bag for your cheese. We’ll provide everything else.
