Learn cheese making from an award-winning cheese expert.
Hands-on course in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
Discover the secrets of artisan cheese production.
Perfect gift for cheese lovers and foodies!

A fun full day course for foodies. Learn all about cheesemaking from industry expert Andy Swinscoe at The Courtyard Dairy.

Courses combine a mixture of science and technical theory with some hands on experience of making two very different cheeses.

The subjects covered could include: milk composition; use of rennet; selecting and using ripening cultures and starter bacteria; setting the curd; cutting, draining and stirring the curd; moulding, milling and pressing the curd; and cheese ageing. You will make two types of cheese: hard ‘Cheddar-style’ and soft ‘lactic’.

Each participant will work at their own cheese vat and moulding equipment.

You’ll get to take home three recipes for future use and excellent tips and advice on sourcing your own equipment, plus all the cheese you make!

Andy, originally from Cumbria, embarked on a quest to find the finest cheeses available from an early age. Whilst working in restaurants in England and France, and in particular the Edinburgh Balmoral Hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, he further developed his passion for cheese.

Andy and his wife Kathy opened the Courtyard Dairy in 2012, winning Best New Cheese Retailer the following year. In 2017 they launched a Cheese Experience and opened a visitor centre/museum, cafe and cheese making room.
