Mozzarella Video Tutorial

11/05/2012 By Gavin Webber 11 Comments

Curd Nerds rejoice!  I have made a quick Mozzarella video tutorial.

quick mozzarella video tutorial

It has been a while since I put a cheese-making video together, so as I was making mozzarella on last  night for pizzas in the Cob oven tonight, I thought I should document it.  It took just over 45 minutes to make due to filming every step, but it worked out well.

If you would like the full recipe, then visit my post titled “30 Minute Mozzarella“.  It is so easy to make, and tastes delicious!  Mozzarella is a great cheese to start with if you are thinking about embarking on the wonderful world of cheese-making.

Update: Since its initial production I have improved this tutorial with a voiceover and updated recipe.  Click through to the new Mozzarella video tutorial page.

Mozzarella Workshop #5

29/04/2012 By Gavin Webber 1 Comment

Today, I taught my fifth mozzarella workshop, which was basically a repeat of last weeks workshop that I held in my undercover area that I wrote about on my main blog.

There were four students, all who wanted a repeat go at making 30 minute mozzarella, because last week, all they ended up with was ricotta instead of the magic cheese they were promised.

Anyway, here is the set up.

Students tables, all neat and tidy, with a gas camp stove each to heat their milk.

This is my table where I hold all the ingredients and measure everything out for them.  I find that is better this way, so they don’t have to worry too much about what to add.  They follow the procedure on their recipe sheets, and I explain what each ingredient does to the milk and what its purpose is.  You can find the recipe and the method at my post titled “30 Minute Mozzarella“.

Two of the ladies stirring their milk having a good time.

Here is one of the pots with the milk after the rennet has been added.

Finally, after we had cut, drained and heated the curds, it was time to stretch the cheese.  This is the best part.  Each student then formed the cheese into balls and dipped them in iced water to set.

After a taste test, they did all the washing up, which was nice of them.  Here is the finished product.

By using lipase and the organic milk, I have hit upon a winner which is quick and simple to make.  The taste is creamy and subtle the first day, with the full flavour developing on the second.  It lasts for about a week in the fridge, but often due to demand only lasts a few days at most, once the hungry hordes get hold of this sweet tasting cheese.

For those in the Melbourne area I am teaching another mozzarella workshop this Saturday at Spotswood Community House.  Details below if you would like to join me.

Whey Ricotta

13/11/2011 By Gavin Webber 5 Comments

I was busily making Romano on Friday night with the milk that Kate sold me, and was left with this wonderful creamy whey.  Now, I didn’t want it to go to waste, so I looked up the recipe for Whey Ricotta, as I knew that it would go down a treat in Sunday nights lasagna!

Anyway, the process for this cheese is very simple, and I caught it all on video for all to see.  I hope you enjoy one of my cheese making video tutorials.

It feels like a crime to tip whey down the sink now.  Making whey ricotta is a must with my left over whey, and the rest now goes onto the garden as a soil improver.

  • 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!

  • Outstanding Info on Cheesemaking!
    August 4, 2018 by Sablwolf from United States

    If you are interested in anything to do with cheese, this is the podcast for you. Host Gavin Webber takes you through an aspect of cheese making, interviews with other people who are doing it, a current cheese-related news segment, and answers questions listeners have submitted in each episode. I've been quite amazed at his depth of knowledge, and he's provided answers to several problems I've encountered as well. Top rate!
