Last Cheese Making Workshop

Riverside Milk

Learn how to make a mild hard cheese that ripens within weeks. Wednesday, 30th November, 6.30 pm to 8.30pm in Lower Moutere.

This will be the last Cheese Making Workshop for a little while, so book your spot early to not miss out

Your tutor Tanja has decades of experience in cheese making and processing. She is passionate about good food and has a “no fuss” approach to cooking and baking of all kinds.

In addition to tasting homemade cheese goodies, participants will also be taken through the process of making the cheese, so that they can go home feeling confident to follow the recipe in their own kitchen.

$40 per person. Limited to 12 participants. Registrations essential: www.riverside.org.nz...

This workshop is proudly sponsored by the Riverside Community Trust. Please contact Tanja at education@riverside.org.nz to discuss sponsorship options.

Please note that we will be using Riverside Milk which is RAW milk and may not be suitable for everyone's consumption. The Ministry of Primary Industries advises the following: ‘Raw milk may contain microorganisms that can cause serious illness. To reduce the risk of illness, raw milk should be heated to at least 70 degree Celsius for one minute. This is critical for infants, young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.’

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
