Students will learn about raw milk's microbiology, and how to cultivate an effective starter culture from it; how to curdle their milk with natural rennet; how to make a basic rennet cheese; how to ferment that cheese and stretch it into a fresh mozzarella; and how to age the same cheese into a Camembert with a natural white rind.
