Introduction to Italian Cheese Making at Home

🧀 Join us in the picturesque barrel shed at Edgecombe for an engaging and informative masterclass on Italian cheesemaking at home! Led by our in-house chef and cheesemaker, Tim 👨‍🍳, this fun and immersive session will guide you through crafting a selection of simple, authentic Italian cheeses using locally sourced ingredients — all complemented by a guided wine tasting with Alf Edgecombe 🍷.

During the class, you’ll learn essential cheesemaking terminology and techniques 🧂, plus where to find the tools and ingredients needed to recreate each cheese at home 🏡.

Together, we’ll make:
🧽 Fresh ricotta
🍨 Indulgent mascarpone
🐐 Tangy caprino fresco

You’ll taste each cheese paired with fresh bread 🥖, house-made condiments 🫒, and a glass (or two 😉) of Edgecombe’s finest wines 🍇. Whether you’re a curious beginner, budding curd nerd, or passionate foodie, you’ll leave with the skills and confidence to embark on your own cheesemaking journey!
