Make Mozzarella - A Workshop for Adult-Child Pairs

Making Mozzarella from scratch with a bunch of kids is fun, exciting, tasty and very, very messy... Riverside Education's Tanja and Verena are ready for ‘Wheyham’ in the kitchen – so book one of your favourite young people and make some cheese for pizza and salad :)

Mozzarella is a southern Italian semi-soft cheese traditionally made from Italian buffalo's milk. In New Zealand, it is almost without exception, made from cows' milk, which is also what we will use during this hands-on session. After all, our bovine girls are grazing just across the road, and we have access to super fresh, healthy, raw milk.

Making your own Mozzarella for dinner is not hard, and it doesn't take very long, either. However, it does involve a little bit of technique. Luckily, Riverside’s cheese-makers Tanja and Verena have a lot of experience and look forward to passing on some tips and tricks…
