Meeting: Annual Meeting Nov 9 in Rockport
Our Annual Meeting was held on Monday, November 9th from 10pm to 2pm at the State of Maine Cheese Co. building on Route 1 in Rockport. We elected a new board member (Arlene Brokow from Imagine Dairy) and a new vice-president (Jesse Dowling of Fuzzy Udder Creamery). We thanked Cathe Morrill of State of Maine Cheese Co. for her YEARS of service. Lots of ideas about Guild activities (past and future) were discussed. The bottom line: it’s only with YOUR help that the Guild succeeds in creating more excellent cheese in Maine!
Peter Dixon Workshop: Nov 13-14, 2015
Soft, Hard, and Stretchy: The Culture of Southern European Cheeses with Peter Dixon
Peter Dixon taught a two day workshop focusing on the cheese styles of Southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Albania and beyond). He demonstrated making three different cheeses — one stretchy pasta filata type, one aged hard style, one young semi-soft style — and the techniques for making all three types. In addition, Peter will discuss and demonstrate how to create and propagate natural cheese cultures for use in these and other cheese recipes.
The workshop took place on FRIDAY and SATURDAY, November 13-14 at Pineland Farms Creamery in New Gloucester, Maine. The hours are 8am to 4pm each day.
Here are some pictures of the two-day workshop:
