Grootplaas Cheese Academy presents a three day course in yoghurt and cheese making. It gives a hands on, sound foundation for the production of fermented milk products, soft, semi-soft and hard cheeses. The course equips small scale/home cheese making enthusiasts as well as farmers that need to add value to existing milk production. It is our passion to equip prospective cheesemakers with knowledge and practical skills to produce safe, outstanding and good quality dairy  products in a competing market environment.  No previous experience is necessary. Certificates of attendance will be awarded upon completion of the course. All needed for the course will be provided. One day course I Mozzarella/Pasta Filata, white and blue mold cheese can be scheduled as soon as ten students are interested.

​

We started out in Hartbeespoort but recently relocated to Eersterivier in the Eastern Cape. We are still on the lookout for a new space in which to host out courses. New dates will be put on the website as soon as we have clarity on a venue. Should you wish to be kept in the loop, please send Barbie a mail at barbie@grootplaascheeseacademy.com
