For those unfamiliar with Turkish cheese, otlu peyniri is an eastern Turkish cheese made with a technique similar to ricotta, but with a twist. Fermented herbs are added to the curd, which is then pressed (it's normally aged slightly, but we'll eat it fresh). Although slightly unusual for a beginner class, our queso fresco will be cultured, which provides nuanced flavors and demonstrates additional cheesemaking techniques. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout the class, cheesemaking teacher and dietitian Kirstin Jackson will walk you through milk types, culturing and renneting, where to buy supplies, basic cheesemaking science and techniques, and sprinkle in little cheese culture and history too. You'll make “quick” mascarpone, queso fresco, otlu peyrni in teams, then watch a \"slow\" (overnight) mascarpone and fermented green onions demo. At the end of the class we'll enjoy our cheese together over a seasonal vegetarian salad, locally baked bread, and light snacks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMENU\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOtlu Peyniri \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFermented Green Onions (for Otlu Peyniri)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQueso Fresco (herbed and plain)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuick mascarpone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSlow mascarpone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAllergens: Dairy, Wheat. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConcerns?
