About this item

The DIY bible for home cheese makers from expert David Asher from the Black Sheep School of Cheesemaking, author of Milk into Cheese Includes more than 35 step-by-step recipes, from kefir and paneer to washed-rind and alpine styles David Asher practices and preaches a traditional but countercultural way of making cheese—one that is natural and intuitive, grounded in ecological principles and biological science. Fully illustrated with hand-drawn diagrams and photos, David’s guide for home and small-scale commercial cheesemakers includes: • An exploration of the basic elements of cheese: milk, cultures, rennet, salt, tools, and the cheese cave • How to source good milk, including raw milk • How to keep your own bacterial starter cultures and fungal ripening cultures • How to make your own rennet—and how to make good cheese without it • How to use appropriate technologies and avoid the use of plastic equipment and chemical additives • Chapters covering cheeses like Gouda, Feta, Chèvre, and Blue The Art of Natural Cheesemaking is a clarion call to cheesemakers to adopt more natural, sustainable practices. It may well change the way we look at cheese, and how we make it ourselves.
