This intro post & questions emailed in as short term IT problem:

Hello members

I am Prof Abdeslam Asehraou at University of Mohammed 1st, Oujda (East Morocco). I am working on goat cheese production with a NGO, recently starting production of goat cheese. I work with some friends of a cooperative in rural area of Oujda on cheese production using goat milk of race Alpine (around 100 goats).

We have started producing cheese, we called AJBANE TAFOGHALT (some arabic words for you!!!), since February 2010 basing traditional technics, for commercial purpose in order to improve the income of the population in rural area.

I am very pleased to join this important forum rich of information, I found helpful.

Best regards . . . Asehraou.

Hello Asehraou and welcome!

I have been to your beautiful country twice on holiday, but back in early 1980's, and down the western side. I'm sure it has changed much in the last 25-30 years.

Good for you on helping the cooperative.

Hello everybody
thank you for your kind replies. the cheese we are producing is the "fresh cheese" based on  enzyme (rennet) and natural lactic fermentation action.

for the next step we plan to produce the soft-ripened cheese

we are looking for further information on this topic (cheese making).


best regards and many thanks to     John
