How to Make Saganaki Cheese

20/08/2022 By Gavin Webber Leave a Comment

Saganaki cheese is so simple to make!

1. Acquire some Graviera, Kefalograviera or Kefalotyri (or make them yourselves, see below). Cut into 2.5 cm or 1 inch slices.
2. If the cheese is dry, then dip it in water, then coat the cheese in flour and shallow fry in olive oil over medium heat.
3. Turn once when browned on the bottom. Make sure they don’t stick to the pan.
4. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy!

Now, being the competent cheese maker that I am, it would be amiss of me not to share the methods for making a couple of the cheeses that are used for this wonderful dish.

Cheese A Day Challenge

17/02/2019 By Gavin Webber Leave a Comment

During the month of February 2019, I decided that it was high time to start tasting different cheeses from around the world and Australia that were available from my local supermarkets. A Cheese A Day Challenge if you like.

I thought that it would be an interesting experiment and broaden my cheese palate. It would also help me appreciate my own homemade cheese a lot better.

There were two conditions to the challenge that I gave myself. One, I had to eat a different style of cheese each and every day for 28 days, and two, I had to be able to source them in my town without too much effort, usually from a supermarket chain at a reasonable cost. After all, this was not going to be a sponsored challenge, I had to buy the cheese myself so as to make it as objective as possible.

I knew that a video a day may be taxing on my time, but I have managed to work out a schedule for production without too many issue.

So without further ado, here is every single video that I have produced so far and automatically gets updated as I add new challenge video each day.

Please enjoy the Cheese A Day Challenge and check out all the exciting cheese that I have managed to find. I realise that not everyone will be able to source the exact cheese that I did, but you should be able to find a suitable substitute in you region.

Jarlsberg Cheese Taste Test

31/10/2016 By Gavin Webber 1 Comment

Jarlsberg would have to be one of the most exciting cheeses to make at home.  Why,  I hear you ask?

Well, it’s because you can see it visibly growing, or swelling as it matures.  As the eyes develop, the cheese paste expands because of the CO² created by the Propionic Shermanii.  This, in turn, makes the entire cheese wheel expand.

Jarlsberg Cheese

It may also force the wax coating of the cheese to split, so you need to keep and eye on it and reseal when necessary.

So what did my Jarlsberg taste like?

I think it was one of the best cheeses of this type that I have ever made.  I was so proud that I posted this Jarlsberg cheese taste test on Cheeseman.tv

So there you have it.  Did you like the official taste testers?

You can pick up supplies for Jarlsberg at our shop https://www.littlegreenworkshops.com.au. I recommend the Italian Cheese kit, with the addition of Propionic Shermanii as it contains most things you need to make this cheese.

    Looking to take up cheesemaking sometime soon and this channel has provided all the information necessary to get started!

  • Great Resource!
    August 28, 2018 by olivestones from United States

    I have been learning to make cheese for the past year. Gavin's podcast and video series has been a tremendous resource for me. His love for the cheese-making craft is evident in the amount of research he will perform in order to answer a listener's cheese question. All thumbs up for the amount of time and energy he puts into his quality podcast! ...And he cracks me up with his attempts at pronunciation!
