Hands-on Mozzarella Cheese Class | February 16, 2025 10am - 1pm

  • Eastern Shore Food Lab 236 Cannon Street | 2nd Floor Chestertown, MD, 21623 United States (map)

Who wants to make Mozz??

Come join Dr. Bill at the Eastern Shore Food Lab and where he'll walk you step-by-step through the process of making stretched curd cheeses (mozzarella & ricotta).

The class will start with a walk down to the Chestertown Farmer's Market and pick up fresh milk from Nice Farms and have a chance to chat with Farmer Bob about what makes their milk so good. The class will bring back a few gallons of milk and transform the milk into fresh mozzarella cheese. You'll be amazed at how simple it is to make something so delicious and wholesome.

The class will cover everything from:

  • sourcing appropriate milk,

  • making the brine,

  • stretching the curd,

  • shaping fresh mozzarella,

  • making ricotta,

  • plus he’ll weave in stories of working with traditional groups who ferment dairy around the world

Each student will enjoy freshly made mozzarella (with sourdough of course) plus bring some home to impress their families and friends ;-)

Class will run from 10:00 to 1:00 and the cost is $75 per participant. To ensure maximum student participation, space is limited.
