Cheese-Making Workshop, Jan. 9

The Coos County Master Food Preservers will hold their annual cheese workshop on Saturday, Jan. 25, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the OSU Extension Service in Myrtle Point.  Workshop participants will learn the process of making fresh cheese as they work in teams to stir up a batch, viewing and participating in the entire process. On the agenda for this cheese workshop is making, and tasting, mascarpone and ricotta cheese. These are soft, un-aged cheeses that can be used in sweet or savory dishes.  The workshop will be held at the OSU Extension Service, 631 Alder Street, in Myrtle Point. Cost is $15. Cheese samples will be served, but participants may wish to bring a sack lunch. Space is limited so early registration is highly recommended and can be done by calling 541-572-5263, ext. 292. Walk-ins will be accepted but only if space allows.
