Cheese, Glorious Cheese

Taking a little break from collecting things and knitted objects, I had a cheese making class in my kitchen today for a friend in honor of her 40th birthday. A local shepherdess who conducts cheese making classes came and walked four of us through the world of basic cheesemaking. Enjoy the pics!

The series of photos below depict making mozzarella cheese from raw cow's milk:























So, what would fresh mozzarella be unless it was combined with juicy, ripe tomatoes and basil???













The mozzarella was gobbled up in a flash...since the feta cheese takes a lot longer, we couldn't pig out on that and there was some left and some to give away.

Then, I find out that the teacher also teaches a cheddar making class...can you see where this is headed?
