Making your own cheese room

I recently received an e-mail from a customer who has definitely become addicted to cheese making, so much so that he has made himself a cheese room. I was so impressed with what Dave has done, that I wanted to share his passion with you all.

E-mail:

"About 6 months ago I decided I liked cheese and began trying to eat my way through the world’s cheeses piece by piece. Then I thought it would be great to find out how they made all of this wonderful food. I enrolled in a 5 day cheese making course at the TAFE (Technical and further Education) and thoroughly got hooked.


We then decided to convert half of an outside sleep-out into a cheese room and although I went a bit overboard it has worked out fantastic; stainless benches and sinks, cupboards and shelves, pH meters and all the paraphernalia.






We have made two batches of Camembert and some whole milk ricotta over the last two weeks and we are slowly getting the idea. I have today enrolled in another TAFE 5 day Italian cheese making workshop and can't wait to start."


As you can see above, Dave has made himself a fantastic area to make cheese in and is obviously enjoying the making of the cheeses as much as the eating...... well maybe.

    Hi Nellymary
    Thanks for your thumbs up. It's great to have a workspace for our hobby and we are looking forward to making some tasty cheese.

    Hi there Dave. Looking at the cheese room photos has motivated me to plan something similar in my Brisbane house. I have room, just need the goodies, and a tradie to set it up for me. By the way, where did you attend the cheese making course. Qld used to run a course through TAFE, but I cannot track down a course anywhere in his State. Google tells me some other states run such courses. Might have to have a little holiday elsewhere!
    Cheers and cheese

    Hello Ossiejs
    I attended two 5 day courses at Regency Park TAFE here in South Australia.I am not sure how often they run them but they are well worth it.Some of the students who were from a distance away stayed on Campus. The first course was your basic cheese making and the second was a course on Italian cheese. We were lucky to have a cheese maker from Victoria take us through primo sale and boconccini.
