Interested in diving further into your cheese making capabilities? In the Advanced Cheese Making workshop we will go into the details of making Gouda, as well as another surprise cheese. This class will shortly review the 8 Basic Steps of Cheese Making, and apply that understanding to more complicated cheeses. The history, taste, different types, and process for making Gouda in your own home will be covered in depth. Hope to see you there!
Participants should come dressed ‘cheesily’ that is, prepared to work in a kitchen, aprons strongly encouraged. Please bring a container to transport your delicious cheeses.
Workshop is limited to 12 participants above the age of ten. Pre-registration and payment required.

About the Instructor
Laurel Shulman found herself in the cheese making world as most people find themselves interested in food – by eating something delicious and wanting to know more. For over two years she made delectable goat and cow’s milk cheese of all varieties with the Hillsborough Cheese Company. She now works at Vimala’s Curryblossom Cafe, but loves to share her cheese knowledge with others.
Originally from Florida, Laurel moved to North Carolina after graduating from New College of Florida, where she wrote her thesis, “All Organic food is (not) Created Equal.” When she isn’t making or eating cheese with friends, she spends her time reading fiction, working in the garden at her home, taking hip hop dance classes and going to the batting cages.
