We have actually found a cheese maker who used to play in a heavy metal band. We think that is very cool. (If you don’t know exactly what heavy metal is, you are not alone. Many of us took up cheese making in retirement, so we think it’s lead or mercury.) Jonathan’s Story I live in Northampton with my wife and daughter. Northampton is traditionally
Making Cheese (and More) in Azerbaijan
We have seen a lot of videos about making cheese in the last 12 years since we started this blog. But, we have never been as captivated as we are with the Country Life Vlog (Kənd Həyatı) on YouTube.

Ramsey (13) in Ontario, Canada
Ramsey is 13 and he is getting an early start at becoming a master home cheesemaker. He recently completed his first cheese – Bleu d’Auvergne, one of Jim Wallace’s recipes at our website, cheesemaking.com. This is considered an advanced recipe.

Sylvain Puccini in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
In 2019, we did an article about cheese making workshops in Montreal (click here). The classes were being taught by Sylvain Puccini and his partner, Philippe Kotula at Les Ateliers Fromagers. At that time, pre-pandemic, the classes were live and now they are a combination of live, online and video. Sylvain is a very private person and there is very little information about him online.
