Cheese & Yoghurt Making Course in Wales
Join us for a relaxed, hands-on day at the Caws Teifi dairy, where you’ll learn to make fresh paneer and creamy yoghurt—two simple, versatile dairy products that provide the perfect starting point for any home cheesemaker.
Guided by our experienced team, you’ll explore the basics of milk and discover practical tips on hygiene, equipment, and how to confidently make cheese in your own kitchen using everyday tools.
Together, we’ll culture milk, learn different ways to coagulate it, and work through the key stages of cheesemaking — from cutting and stirring to gentle heating and salting. By the end of the day, you’ll understand the foundations that underpin many traditional cheeses and leave with the skills (and confidence) to continue at home.
What You’ll Make and Learn
You will learn how to culture milk, coagulate milk with different methods and follow cheesemaking parameters such as timing, cutting, stirring, heating and salting.
Cheese and Yoghurt Course Schedule
The day begins at 10 am at the dairy where we will get suited and booted to begin heating the milk for the cheese and yoghurt. Whilst this is taking place we give you a short presentation on cheesemaking.
At 11am, we begin culturing and incubating the yoghurt before moulding and draining the paneer. The cheese is then pressed and chilled.
At 1pm, we’ll enjoy lunch together. Afterwards, you’ll pack your creations and take a tour of the dairy.
The day concludes at approximately 4pm, when you’ll receive helpful resources for continuing your cheese and yoghurt making at home.
Timings: All courses start and end times are approximate and may be adjusted by up to one hour if necessary. Participants will be notified of any changes in advance where possible.
What’s Included
Each workshop is limited to just six participants, creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where everyone can enjoy plenty of hands-on time and personal guidance. All materials are provided - simply bring your curiosity and enthusiasm for learning something new.
By the end of the day, you’ll take home your own freshly made cheese and yoghurt, along with helpful resources to support you as you continue your cheesemaking journey at home.
