During the show I talk about the importance of sticking to the recipe.

Please forgive me if I sound a little harsh, but it is very important to not vary too much from the recipe.  Otherwise, how are you going to repeat that amazing taste four months down the track especially if you deviated too much and didn’t record your changes.

This weeks new is from Tasmania.  Ian Fowler comes from a very long line of cheese makers and is making cheddar style cheeses in the Bay of Fires on the east coast.  I play an audio clip from an interview he gave on the ABC. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-22/bay-of-fires-tasmanias-smallest-cheese-company/5572612

I also answer questions about using the correct milk for the right cheese method, why you should wax your parmesan, and talk about butterfat yield from different types of cow.

Also here are the photos I promised.

And one that I didn’t mention, but Murray sent me a picture of a very fresh Peppercorn Cheddar

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 🙂

A bit of a deviation from the normal format.  I took the opportunity to capture a bit of history, and interviewed my father, John Webber.  It is about life on a dairy farm 1970s.

He used to run a dairy farm in the 1970’s, so I thought it would be great to ask him a few questions about dairy operations and how he processed the raw milk.

Join me in listening to his insight into running a small dairy with about 150 head of milking cows.

Also, 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.
