Join the San Francisco Milk Maid for a ‘Pre-Holiday’ cheese lesson on homemade ricotta and mascarpone. In this class we’ll cover  the   nitty-gritty of whole milk, whey or part cream ricottas. We’ll talk about ways to tweak your ricotta to make it the center piece of a cheese board or the key ingredient in hand-made ravioli. Learn how to switch out lemon juice for vinegar or even buttermilk. Then, as the cherry on top, learn a recipe for the most decadent member of the cheese world: mascarpone.

Join us at the Cheese Board Bakery for an evening of cheese making on October 9, 2013. 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm.

Join the San Francisco Milk Maid for a class on transforming goat’s milk into either a crumbly, fresh chevre or a step beyond that. We can transform the same recipe into your very own fuzzy, ripened goat cheese. We’ll cover basic steps of cheesemaking, essential equipment and where to find a special ‘rind ripening’ fungus called Geotrichum. Learn which milk to buy and how to best age your fresh cheese puck into a fragrant finale.
