Halloumi & Paneer Cheesemaking Masterclass

Cheesemaking Masterclass – Halloumi and Paneer!

If you’re a fan of cheese, you won’t want to miss our Halloumi and Paneer cheesemaking masterclass! Join us to learn the art of crafting these two delectable cheeses from scratch.

Led by our expert cheesemaker, Julie Craig from Oak and Thistle learn the step-by-step process of making Halloumi and Paneer cheeses. We use high quality ingredients to achieve the perfect texture and flavour. You’ll learn about the traditional methods used to make these cheeses, as well as the latest techniques and trends in artisanal cheesemaking.

In just two hours, Julie will show you how making your own cheese can change the way you cook and eat. Homemade cheese tastes amazing, uses simple ingredients you can trust, and doesn’t take much time at all. You’ll learn all the basics including heating, curdling, stretching, and shaping cheese so you can feel confident making it yourself. During the class, you’ll watch and feel the magic as the cheese transforms right before your eyes. Plus, you’ll really appreciate the love and skill that goes into creating these delicious, artisanal cheeses. We always use top-quality ingredients to make sure your cheese is tasty and healthy.

Our Halloumi and Paneer session is a fun way to meet other cheese fans and pick up some handy skills. These cheeses are super versatile and quick to make, but learning the right techniques makes all the difference. Don’t forget to book early as Julie needs time to order the ingredients and prepare the sample cheeses and make sure everything’s perfect for you.
