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/.

  • Super interesting!
    October 8, 2017 by Lenka S from Australia

    Gavin's podcast is so interesting and informative, he knows so much about home cheesemaking and he shares his knowledge with his listeners and answers listener questions on the show which is also extremely helpful! I am listening to them all for the second time and finding lots of new useful pieces of information. There are also interesting bits of cheese news from around the world. Thank you Gavin!

  • Cheese making oracle
    May 2, 2017 by Aprecelton from United Kingdom

    This is THE definitive guide and advice centre for anybody who wants to make cheese. What Gavin doesn't know about cheese isn't worth knowing. Enjoyable and informative.

  • Entertaining and informative
    February 9, 2017 by New Jersey omg from United States

    I have just started making cheese and I have been binge listening to these podcasts. I'm hooked. Just made my 4th cheese today and bought the ebook too.

    November 5, 2016 by Rustndustamust from United States

    I am new to cheesemaking and heard one of Gavin's Podcasts. I downloaded them all and started from the first to the last...I feel like I have been to Curd Nurd University. Gavin freely gives of his time and knowledge as well as the knowledge of skilled cheese makers through interviews. Wish I could give this podcast series 10 stars. Great work. Learned many new ideas and Gavin answered all of my questions through these podcasts. Keep up the fabulous work and to all those behind the scenes that help Gavin - Thanks Mates.Diane, Oregon USA

  • Gavin is a star
    August 26, 2016 by Maticci from Australia

    Thank you Gavin for sharing your secrets and making my cheese making life easier!

  • Everything for the home cheesemaker
    August 5, 2016 by OziFlyer from Australia

    Gavin Webber explains every part of the cheesemaking process simply and clearly, and in an entertaining fashion. A down to earth Aussie bloke, no hype, but fun and educational. Coupled with his YouTube videos, he offers every resource a home cheesemaker could want. If you're new to the hobby - this podcast is definitely for you. If you've been at it a while, you'll still learn something. Oh, and he makes the effort to give measurements in both Imperial (for his U.S. listeners), and metric (for the rest of the world). He couples being knowledgeable with the ability to impart it. 5 stars.

  • Hooray!

  • Great Cheese making podcasts
    July 26, 2014 by Fidhler from United States

    Wonderfully instructive podcast on cheese making at home. There are many YouTube videos on the subject but none as good or as complete as Gavin’s. Every time I watch one of these I learn something new. He covers a wide variety of cheeses that make my mouth water. The podcasts are well planned and professionally videoed. You can’t get better than this. Thanks for all your dedication and hard work. John Erdman, Augusta, Maine, USA
