The food standards are changing here in Australia, and commercial cheese makers will be able to make a wider range of raw milk cheese. I play an interview with Tom Ross from the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture who explains the changes to the regulations.

I also talk about two new cheese making products that I have developed namely a DVD and an External Cheese Fridge Thermostat. These two products have consumed most of my spare time in the last two weeks. I never thought that making a DVD, with menu structure, would be so time-consuming!
For those of you in Australia, here are the links to those two products;
Keep Calm & Make Cheese DVD - Volume 1
External Cheese Fridge Thermostat
During the latter half of the episode I answer listener questions about camembert, cheese making in Thailand, Traditional Mozzarella, and an innovative way to heat your milk. I also mentioned that Colin, from New Zealand, sent in some pictures of his milk pot that he makes all his cheeses in.
Colin's milk pot/double boiler system
A pot inside a pot. He places water in the bottom pot that is heated with the electric element.
It is all controlled by this thermostat. Ingenious invention.
The engineering creations of the home cheese maker never fails to amaze me. We are a creative bunch of curd nerds!
If you liked the show then pop over to iTunes to give it a rating and review. I would be honoured to read your feedback.

Until next time curd nerds, Keep Calm & Make Cheese! |
