G'day Curd Nerds. Thanks for joining me this week!

|
One of my favourite quick Italian cheeses is Guido's. More below...

Guido's Hard Italian Cheese
|
|
|
|
|
Guido's Hard Italian Cheese is a quick table cheese that only takes 3 to 4 weeks to mature.
|
Now imagine my surprise when I received an email from Margot, Guido's wife! Here is part of the email (with permission).
|
"Hello Gavin,
What a hoot to see a professional making Guido's cheese and satisfying that you like it too. We'll be interested in what you think after it's aged a bit.
|
|
It brings back many memories of over 20 years ago when Guido first started making his own cheese and we had to travel many miles into Lancaster County to find an Amish farmer who would sell us raw milk. (It has since been legalized for sale.)
|
Also got a kick out of one of the comments on the video re: the name Guido being an ethnic slur. Oh boy.
|
It was a proud moment in my cheese-making journey.

Coming Friday!

After a successful 12-hour stream of "How to Make Italian Style Cheese" last Friday, I believe that the French deserve a spotlight.
|
This week's stream will focus on all the French-style cheeses I've made over the years. I will be streaming again this Friday, 20th September at 1900 Australian Eastern Standard Time.
|
|
Please pop in anytime during the day or night and watch how I make many styles of French cheese. It should run for about 12 hours. Stream via the link below!
