What stuff do you want to make? It would be helpful to know. I’ll put some resources together when I’m back home.

Cheese byproduct used to treat icy roads this winter in southern Wisconsin county Wisconsin Department of Transportation Highway Commissioner Chris Narveson said Green County has been using cheese brine to prewet roads before putting down salt treatments for about 20 years.

11. Cheese fridge. It now lives in the basement of my house, maintained at correct temps to keep the cheese happy. It still has much of the cheese (pictured in chonks and rounds on the fridge shelves in this photo) that my late partner made, himself, from scratch. I helped with the stirring.

The real benefit to cheesemaking isn’t the cheese itself, it’s the friends we make along the whey.

A wheel of cheese with salt on it.

I made this on Sunday, it’s having the final salt treatment before it goes in the cave. If I haven’t whiffed it it should be a low-fat, low-moisture cheese in the neighbourhood of Parmesan. I won’t know until at least 2026. #cheesemaking

important cheese tip for the holidays:

1. leave your cheese out on the counter for 30min to an hour to get to room temperature. the flavors are way more developed.

Two rounds of young brie on a plastic draining grid. Their surfaces are just barely starting to grow white mould.

@thecheesegoddess suggested me for a cheeseboard pack, so I. better up the cheese content. Here are some baby bries I made a while ago, just starting to show their adolescent fuzz.

I made tea at home and bought coffee out for years. When someone is so good at making it and curating quality coffee, it was hard to justify making it at home.

Here's a fun cheese fact. Stilton cheese can't be made in the village of Stilton, because it was only ever sold at market there, not produced, so when the EU granted the cheese Protected Designation of Origin, the areas designated did not include the village that gives the cheese its name.
