Description

Learn how to make your own pasta filata mozzarella!

 

This workshop offers a unique opportunity to enter in a small dairy and discover the world of cheeses – including the famous mozzarella.

This workshop is considered difficult because it requires a lot of focus, technique and putting your hands into very hot water.

In terms of skill level, you won’t learn how to make the cheese from the milk – but you will get to experience the most fun part: the stretching. After the workshop, you will have access to the complete recipe, from milk to mozzarella. 

If you would like to learn more about the full cheesemaking process, there is a one‑day training course – see here.

 

Schedule:

The milk we use depends on what’s being produced at La Laiterie Toulousaine at the time. Generally, it will be pasteurized buffalo milk or raw cow’s milk – all sourced from farms in Occitanie.

• Once you’ve put on a suitable outfit and received a few instructions on safety precautions, you’ll be able to enter the dairy and get started.

 

• Then, you’ll start by making your own stracciatella (the heart of burrata). This will help you get familiar with the stretching technique.

 

• The second step is to turn your stracciatella into a burrata. It’s a challenging process – but if you succeed, the feeling of accomplishment is pure joy. And you’ll get to share it with your loved ones that same evening.

• Then comes a more classic cheese: making your own mozzarella. And that, too, is an art form all its own!

 

• You will leave with approximately 500g of products: mozzarella, burrata, and plenty of happiness to share!

 

• After all these emotions and efforts, a pleasant moment awaits you – you’ll get to taste cheeses from our dairy, paired with wine/fruit juice and delicious artisanal bread.

 

On site, you’ll also be able to buy our urban cheeses – you’ll have a choice depending on the aging stage. You can also buy kits to make your own cheese at home!
