Make your own cheese

Hands-on artisan cheesemaking classes for individuals and couples on Halbert Lane in Waco, Texas.

A true artisan class, start to finish

Spend an afternoon making cheese the way it’s been made for centuries, by hand. You’ll warm fresh milk, add the cultures and rennet, cut and stir the curd, and stretch your own mozzarella. Then you take home what you made.

Classes are small, so everyone gets their hands in the vat. No experience is needed. Come on your own, or bring someone: a class for two makes a great date night or gift.

What you’ll do

  • Learn how milk becomes cheese: cultures, rennet, curd and whey
  • Cut, cook and drain your own batch of curd
  • Stretch and shape fresh mozzarella by hand
  • Taste our award-winning cheeses and learn how to pair them
  • Take home the cheese you made
