From milking to the plate, what are the secrets behind turning milk into cheese? Join us for this workshop and become an apprentice cheesemaker – and take home your own cheese to enjoy! For children aged 6 to 12.
During a fun workshop, children discover and carry out all the stages of cheese making by themselves. But in fact...where does the milk come from? What does PDO mean? What utensils are used to make it? Why do some cheeses have holes? What senses do we use to taste them? When you leave, you will know everything about Savoy cheeses. The activity is for children only and is supervised by a museum guide. Reservations must be made with the Maison du Fromage Abondance on 04.50.73.06.34 - [email protected] by Wednesday 12pm. Places are limited.
