Join us to learn the basics of home cheesemaking while making the popular cheese known as Feta.

Cheesemaking isn&#x27;t as mysterious as you might think, but the process is really cool. You might not realize it, but you can make some really easy and delicious cheeses in your home with minimal effort and equipment. If you love cooking, you&#x27;ll want to try your hand at cheesemaking.L﻿ast November at a Sweetwater cheesemaking class we made homemade mozzarella. This time we move on to another even easier cheese to make, the popular Greek cheese known as Feta. We&#x27;ll show the different steps in making this delicious salty brined cheese that you can crumble onto salads or mix with spinach to fill spanakopita. And although we&#x27;ll be making feta, the process is similar for most cheeses, so you will learn basic concepts you can use in making many other cheeses in your home. At the end of the class we&#x27;ll eat some homemade feta.I﻿nstructor Dan Durica has been making cheese for over 15 years. He lives a self-sufficient life at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage in Missouri and loves to make most of his food from scratch with local ingredients he&#x27;s grown or raised himself.
