It takes place in a 300 year old olive grove, 5 km from the city of Chania. It may be available on request - when time permits
The class explores the history of cheese making and learns how to make rennet, vinegar and plant juice based cheese curds and re-create an ancient Greek goat and sheep cheese recipe.
It is then taken through the many aspects involved in creating different types of period breads- from making sourdough to kneading and from baking to using the bread as an ingredient in various dishes- using period cookbooks, archaeological data and other primary sources.
