Ever tried making cheese in your condo?

If you’re one of the cheese making curious at Taste, you’ll have the opportunity to learn how.

Roll up your sleeves and join the Fifth Town cheese making team (Stephanie, Laura and Petra) for a demonstration on how to make Chevre or low fat cream cheese at home using store bought milk.

During this session you will learn about the steps involved in making simple cheeses; and how to choose cultures and rennet.   Participants will receive a small cheese making starter kit including rennet tablet and culture pack plus instructions on how to make cheese at home, compliments of the Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Dairy.

11:30 am     Cooking Demonstration Building    HOW TO MAKE SIMPLE CHEESES IN YOUR DOWNTOWN CONDO!

Demonstration limited to 75 participants!

My mouth is watering as I contemplate Andrew Laliberte’s Top Pairings for his 3:30pm demo at Taste this Saturday.

75 participants will sample the following local Eastern Ontario cheeses paired with beer and cider from the region and it’s going to be delicious.

• Wilton Cheddar Curds with Barley Days IPA

• Black River Maple Cheddar with Bergeron Estate’s Cole Point Cider

• Fifth Town Counting Sheep with Beau’s Lug Tread

• Fifth Town Cape Vessey with Beau’s Festivale

• Empire 6 Year Old Cheddar with Church Key Holy Smoke
