Fall & Winter Classes & Events

I teach public cheese making and and private wine & cheese classes all over the Bay Area! (I no longer teach private cheesemaking classes- just pairings!) Find out more about my private classes here, or email kirstin@itsnotyouitsbrie.com with questions. As a friendly reminder, these classes fill up fast. If they’re listed but sold out, get on the school’s waiting list- sometimes spots open up. 

  • Besides my June Cheese & Wine Pairing 101 class, this summer is booked with private classes, new projects, and vacation! I am not teaching any public classes beyond this until fall.

  • Fall events will be listed as soon as planned. Thank you for your interest!

Cheesemaking 101: Mascarpone, Queso Fresco, Cultured Butter

  • 18 Reasons 3674 18th Street San Francisco, CA, 94110 United States (map)

Want to revel in the glory of having some of the best cheese and butter you've ever tasted in your fridge at all times? Try making them yourself. Making your own cheese and butter doesn't have to be difficult, and after a quick lesson in dairy science, I’ll show you how to master them at home. After learning what dairy to use and where to source ingredients, you'll transform your milk and cream into sweet mascarpone, flavorful queso fresco, and rich butter. The class will start with a sampling of commercial variations, and end with light snacks that use the cheeses you perfected in class.
