Workshop
Description
You will learn how to transform raw cashews and almonds into rich, complex fermented cheeses using live cultures. Starting with soaking and blending, you will move through inoculation, culturing, shaping, and ageing, understanding what is happening biologically at each stage. You will learn how to develop flavour naturally, without oils, additives, or preservatives, and how small variables like temperature, time, and salt affect the final result.
Benefits
- Confidence to make your own fermented plant-based cheeses at home
- A deeper understanding of live cultures and how they build flavour
- The ability to troubleshoot batches and adapt recipes to your taste
- A practical, additive-free alternative to dairy and processed vegan cheese
Additional Experience Info
Everything you need is provided; cultures, ingredients, and all equipment. The focus is entirely on learning, making, and enjoying the process.
