Curd Nerd News Edition #47

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

This week's featured cheese is less of a tutorial and more of a Q&A with the cheese makers at Long Paddock Cheese. I learnt so much. More below...

Making Silver Wattle

Silver Wattle is made in the style of lactic acid cheese, which means it is made primarily with lactic acid coagulation rather than large amounts of rennet. A small amount of animal rennet assists with the curd set. It is a mashup of St. Marcellin and Charouce.

It is made at Castlemaine Victoria Australia.

You can check out their cheese selection at the Long Paddock Cheese website.

Thank you to Roman and Dom for allowing me to film and learn from the best!
