Mozzarella Making Workshop
Thursday, July 25 | 2 PM
Thursday, August 1 | 2 PM
Learn the art of hand-stretched mozzarella! The skilled cheesemakers from Leelanau Cheese Company will demonstrate how to craft this satisfying fresh cheese from local milk and a handful of basic ingredients. The secrets of this gastronomical wonder will unfold as you learn to hand stretch curd and form bocconcini, string cheese, and delicate burrata. After class, taste your mozzarella two ways: fresh with extra virgin olive oil and seasonal condiments and baked on a Neapolitan-style Margherita pizza from our wood-fired oven. In addition to the mozzarella you make in class, you’ll take home a rock-solid, repeatable recipe for home production. Tickets include one glass of wine. More wine may be purchased onsite for an additional cost.
(Ticket price does not include tax or service fees.)
