Join Kristen Allan for a full day of master cheese making and discover all there is to know about making fresh cheese including feta, halloumi, fresh curd, chèvre and mascarpone.

In this hands-on day of cheese making, you will gain an in-depth understanding of:

  • the cheese making process using cultures and rennet
  • sourcing the best local milk
  • brining and dry-salting cheese
  • marinating feta & chèvre
  • preserving cheese using alcohol & fig leaves (banon style)
  • the health benefits and many uses of whey


What to expect:

"The morning begins with a cup of tea or coffee, Moonacres treats and a chat about how the day will unfold. Then it’s time to roll up your sleeves and feel your whey through the curds. We work in small groups so there’s usually plenty of banter and laughter and time for one-on-one attention." Kristen

During the day you will taste all that we make, alongside morning tea and snacks, bottomless coffee and tea, and finally sit at our long table for a feast using Kristen's recipes to incorporate the cheeses we have created. At lunch at Kristen will share stories and favourite recipes and then with full bellies it’s back to the bench to finish our curds.


What makes Kristen's cheese making classes special is the abundance of recipes for the leftover whey. You’ll take it home by the bucket load!

This class runs from 9.30am to 4pm, and is suited to keen beginners as well as those with some cheesemaking experience.

This is a great class for a group booking for family and friends.
