Here, the milk is processed on the farm and is produced for taste, not quantity. The cows are happy because they spend the spring-summer season in the wild, on pasture, producing milk only from herbs and spices! In winter, they are given natural fodder produced on the farm: hay, alfalfa, fodder beet and obroc. The quality of the cheese is directly proportional to the cows' feeding, the hygiene during milking, the quality of the milk and the passion with which we produce and care for the ripened cheeses.
Cheese is a typical product of the alpine areas of Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Centuries ago, peasants who went out with their cows on the alpine pastures did not have the daily opportunity to collect the milk in the valleys. So they started producing cheese. As time went by, they obviously succeeded in perfecting the production process.
Only one type of ripened cheese is produced in the workshop, out of the conviction that it is better to have a product whose quality you are convinced of than to have many mediocre ones. However, there is a wide range of varieties, with the addition of spices or wine, nuts and chilli.
What will you do in class? You will put yourself, for a couple of hours, in the cheesemaker's shoes. You will participate in the process of transforming milk into fresh cheese! In a space suitable for such exercises, we invite you and your friends or colleagues into the cool cellar where the magic happens.
The workshop will take place daily, by appointment in advance, in the cellar of the former evangelical parish church in Cund, during which each participant will make their own 3 wheels of cheese, which they can take home.
