Mozzarella & Burrata by Hand - In Person

A hands-on cheesemaking course. Each participant leaves with their own freshly made cheese. This class is limited to 12 students. See our registration policies here and our rules for in-person events here.

Fresh burrata and mozzarella can be notoriously fussy to make. Cheesemaking teacher Kirstin Jackson will guide you along the fun process of stretching bocconcini, ovolini, and their cream-filled cousin, burrata. We'll start with a mozzarella and burrata cheese tasting, then jump into making it ourselves. You'll learn the basics of cheesemaking science, which ingredients to use and why, the ins and outs of stretching cheese curd, and get advice on some simple ways to eat your newest cheese creation.

We'll end the class with a light dinner consisting of our own cheeses, a seasonal vegetarian salad, locally baked bread, and a glass of wine or beer!

This menu contains the following common allergens: Dairy, Wheat. If you have allergies or dietary restrictions that concern your ability to cook along, please e-mail info@18reasons.org before purchasing a ticket.

Author of It’s Not You, it’s Brie: Unwrapping America’s Unique Culture of Cheese, Kirstin Jackson is a cheesemaking teacher, wine and cheese educator, and writer. She loves teaching people how to make ricotta and creamy burrata pillows as much as she adores pairing her new favorite local cheese with wine. She blames her parents who took her on trips to the California dairy country at a very young age for feeding her current obsession.
