Cheesemaking 101: Mozzarella and Ricotta

From milk to mozz and ricotta — fresh cheesemaking made easy and fun.

There’s nothing more satisfying than turning milk into fresh, homemade cheese, and in this highly interactive class, Chef Sara makes the process approachable, fun, and genuinely doable. You’ll learn the foundational techniques behind crafting two classics— fresh mozzarella and creamy ricotta—starting from milk and using simple methods you can recreate in your own kitchen. From heating and acidifying to stretching, shaping, and seasoning, Chef Sara will guide you step-by-step so you leave feeling confident and inspired.

What You’ll Make:

You’ll make fresh mozzarella from milk, learning how temperature, timing, and gentle handling create that signature stretchy texture. You’ll also make creamy ricotta. To finish, you’ll taste and serve your cheeses with seasonal accompaniments and learn easy, crowd-pleasing ways to enjoy them at home—whether you’re building a beautiful cheese board, topping a warm dish, or keeping it simple with great bread and a drizzle of olive oil.

Whether you’re planning a unique date night, a memorable experience with friends, or a hands-on team outing, this class offers the perfect blend of technique, creativity, and shared enjoyment. All tools and ingredients are provided!
