Basic Dairy Culturing

About the Class:

Together, we'll explore basic dairy culturing using simple, age-old methods to transform milk and cream into nutritious delicacies. Join Fermdamentals.com's Danielle Shelton as she teaches the art, science and history behind a variety of simple dairy ferments! The hands-on workshop will cover clabbered cream, yogurt, kefir, and skyr. Everyone will take home a jar of kefir, as well as other dairy cultures to make at home. Of course, sampling different kinds of dairy ferments is all part of the fun. Participants will also receive handouts with a few different fermentation recipes.
