Come join master cheesemaker Gary Colles for this class making your own feta cheese!
Feta (Greek: φέτα, féta) is a brined curd white cheese made in Greece from sheep’s milk or from a mixture of sheep and goat milk. It is a crumbly aged cheese, commonly produced in blocks, and has a slightly grainy texture in comparison to other cheeses.
If you don’t have a goat or sheep in your backyard, you can still make feta with a few changes.
In the class, you will be using store-bought milk and lipase for a “goaty” flavor. Everything else you need to make cheese is already in your kitchen.

Online Class General Information:
-
Each registration is for one “device” (one computer, tablet, phone). This is to ensure we don’t have more people registered than the instructor is comfortable with having in a class. Please be respectful of this guideline and purchase multiple class spots if more than one person from your household is interested in attending.
-
You will need a reliable Internet connection as well as a computer or device with which to access the online class. Please arrive 10 minutes before class begins, to ensure your connection and device are ready when the class begins.
-
If the class lists ‘Materials Needed’, you will want to purchase those materials and have them available as well.
-
Each class will be held using Zoom technology. You will receive a link and a password and information on how to log on, prior to the class. You will be able to view and ask questions during the class.
NOTE: Be aware we may cancel class if a minimum number of registrations is not reached. We work to balance teachers’ need to plan for a class with students’ busy schedules — not an easy task. Please register as early as possible!
