FST Professor and Dairy Specialist Moshe Rosenberg will teach a short course via Zoom for the California Artisan Cheese Guild called "Cheesemaking: The Art, The Science, The Technology" during five days in April.
Online Course Description:
Success of artisan cheesemakers in the current marketplace is critically dependent on the unique quality attributes of the cheeses they make and deliver. The highly competitive nature of the marketplace requires cheese makers to develop effective skills that can allow them to design and prepare unique cheeses, in a way that reflects both the elements of terroir and their cheesemaking skills and techniques.
This course is design to address the unique needs and challenges associated with small-scale cheese making. This online (Zoom) course consists of five sessions (3 hours each) of lectures and discussions.
This course will introduce and discuss the multitude of scientific and technical disciplines that collectively govern the quality of milk for cheese making, the transformation of milk to curd and, later on, the development of cheese quality attributes. The course is design to tool the participants with the basic understanding and practical information that are needed in order to successfully design, prepare and market high quality, commercially competitive cheeses.
