Old Time Cheesemaking Imobersteg Farmstead Cheese Factory at National Historic Cheesemaking Center 9 am - noon Cheesemaking will be led by our local Green County Master Cheesemakers, who will be making cheese the old fashioned way - hand-stirred in a copper kettle. The milk, expected to arrive at approximately 9:00 am, will begin the day resulting in a completed wheel of Swiss cheese by early afternoon. During the day, enjoy music with food and beverages, featuring our signature cream puffs and "Masters" grilled cheese sandwiches. The demonstration will take place in a circa late 1800's authentic farmstead cheese factory, and features the original equipment that was used when the Imobersteg Family made cheese using the milk from the cows of their herd. http://www.national historiccheesemakingcenter.org |
