Salts function in cheese making is this weeks topic.  I also talk about types of salt and what is the best to use in cheese making at home.

This week’s news feature is from ABC Radio National titled “The push to use raw milk in cheese production”.  It is an audio clip that features Will Studd of Cheese Slices fame talking about the benefits of raw milk cheese.

The rest of the clip can be found here; http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/bushtelegraph/raw-milk-cheese/5601944

Listener questions featured during this show were about when to add calcium chloride to your milk, Penicillium Roqueforti cross contamination, how to mature your Colby and stop blue cheese from going runny, and can you use goat milk with the recipes in Keep Calm & Make Cheese eBook.

I also apologise to Trausti who I called a woman in Episode 26.  He is all that is man, and took it all in good humour (thankfully!)  How embarrassed did I feel when I received his email the day after the episode was released.  Podcasting is such fun 🙂

Today we learn about Kosher cheese from Dovid Wheeler in Israel.  I first started corresponding with Dovid about a year or so ago, and he sent through the Tzafatit recipe that I posted back in January this year.

During the episode, Dovid describes the cheeses that he makes at home, successes, challenges, and some issues that he has had with the milk that he sources.

If you want more information about Kosher cheese making, the great news is that Dovid blogs over at Koshercurds.com where you can find a wealth of information on the topic.

Links mentioned during this episode;

  • Dovid’s blog Koshercurds.com
  • Tzafatit recipe
  • Halloumi recipe and video tutorial

Also, a big shout out to Sami for the kind words of thanks and encouragement at the end of the episode.

So curd nerds, if you think you have a cheese making story to tell, drop me an email. I would love to have you on the show as my next guest.

Our guest this episode is Mark Brown from Purple Pear Farm at Maitland, NSW Australia. He makes cheese on their organic 14 acre farm to feed the WWOOFers (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) who regularly visit and work on the property.

We chatted about where he sources his milk, what cheeses he makes each week, and what he does with it. He also goes on to talk about his successes and challenges regarding home cheese making over the years.

More information about Mark and his wife Kate and all the services available at the farm can be found at www.purplepearfarm.com.au.

Kate also writes a great blog which can be found at http://purplepearorganics.blogspot.com.au/.

    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!
