Advanced Cheesemakers Series: Making Cheese with Gianaclis Caldwell of Pholia Farms
Join the Cheesemaker Education Committee of the California Artisan Cheese Guild as we host award-winning author and masterful cheesemaker Gianaclis Caldwell of Pholia Farm for two days of learning and hands-on cheesemaking, April 17 & 18, 2015.
Day 1 Milk is always changing and ready to challenge even the most accomplished cheesemaker with its seasonal and species specific nuances. In this class we will use one recipe, but craft it into several different cheeses simply by using different types of milk. During the process, we'll be able to observe some of the amazing differences between milks and learn how to manipulate and customize a recipe to deal with these differences. We'll focus on protein ratios, protein types, butterfat differences, and buffering capacity to take our cheesemaking abilities - including understanding pH - to a higher level - and have fun doing it!
Day 2 Affinage is the opportunity to take a great young cheese and turn it into a masterpiece,..or a mishap. While a good deal about making cheese is well documented, the art of affinage still remains somewhat of a mystery. In this class we'll cover the many options for aging all type of cheeses - from natural rinds to vacuum sealed as well as the many ways that the cheesemaker can change the way a cheese ages. We'll also cover solutions to cheese mites, wooden boards, the use of ozone, and more. Bring a cheese for a group evaluation (even Gianaclis is going to bring some less than lovely cheeses to demonstrate problems!) and ideas.
