Event Overview

There's nothing more delectable than a brie-u-ti-ful, creamy wedge of cheese. (Sorry that was cheesy.) ( Sorry, that was too.)

This down-on-the-farm Dabble class is a lesson on turning cow's milk into creamy brie cheese. We'll first meet on a Sunday afternoon, and spend our time learning how to churn, form, salt and cure everyone's favorite grocery store import.You're welcome to BYOWine to compliment the rich, creamy flavors of the brie, as imbibing while making cheese is only natural.

Then we'll store our cheese as the farmers do it (at a constant 50 degrees) and give it some time to properly age. We'll meet again two weeks later to wrap up our cheese and send it home, where it will need to age for just a bit longer before you can enjoy.

A lesson on this history of brie (and how to reproduce it in your own home on the cheap) will be included. And the best part? Each student will leave with one 12oz wheel of cheese. An appetizer that will steal the show at your next salon gathering ... and handmade by you, no less! Tres chic!

Please note that this is a 2-day event.
Two weeks after the first class on Feb 24 at 2pm,, we will regroup again on March 10th at 2pm to wrap the cheese and ready them to age 2 additional weeks in your home fridge. This second date is necessary, as the cheese needs to age for two weeks in a constant 50° environment.

This 2nd meeting will last about 1 hour.

Minimum age

All ages welcome

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Richard McGaughey learned to make cheese years ago from his grandfather. In his 20's he worked at a local dairy, and those experiences combined with a book from the New England cheese company helped him create his first batch of cheddar, and subsequently spurned a lifelong love for making cheese. After Richard retired 10 years ago, he took up the suggestion of his wife and decided to start teaching cheese making classes. He's been teaching at local community education venues ever since. Rich believes you can learn to make any cheese that is commercially sold, and can't wait to show Dabblers a few of those cheeses in this class!
