A great interview with a passionate home cheese maker who lives in NSW, Australia.  Carole Castles has made over 150 kinds of cheese from the milk produced by her two very own Jersey Cows.

We have a great chat about how she began her cheese obsession and the methods she uses to make some of her favourite cheese.  We also touch on how she gets the best milk from her two girls and what she does with the excess if there is just too much.

It was a lovely conversation that probably could have gone on for a lot longer.  Thanks for your time Carole.

Here is a picture of Carole’s two lovely Jersey Cows

And look at all the cheese in her cheese fridge. Carole calls herself a ‘Dairy tragic’.  I just think she has been well and truly bitten by the cheese bug, like most of you!

So, if you are a home cheesemaker like Carole or any of the other passionate home cheese makers that I have talked to, I would love to have you on the show.  Drop me an email to set up an interview!

My guest this week is Sharon Bailey from South Australia. She is up to her 39th cheese made right in her very own kitchen, so we catch up and have a great chat about all things cheese!

The listener questions are about PVA coatings, cutting cheese before maturity, and difference between full cream and non-homogenised milk.

Thanks for listening curd nerds, and don’t forget to check out this blog for lots of great cheese articles, recipes, video tutorials and eBooks.
