My wife and I started making cheese earlier this year.  Obviously, this comes from a love of cheeses of all kinds. I noticed a few people who moved into cheeses from beer brewing and a other activities.  This would be a fair description of our "graduation".  I started brewing beer decades ago.  I've been making fermented foods for about as long.  About six years ago, I experimented with traditional charcuterie - dry salami, sausage, prosciutto and a few others. This continues. In our cheese making,  we have had successes and edible failures (not true disasters).  It's quite the learning curve and a whole lot of fun. We've discovered a source of pasteurized, non-homogenized, grass-fed cow's milk from a local dairy.  What a great flavor.  We hope this forum helps us add to our fun and success.
