For though bread baking has its sourdough, brewing its lambic ales, and pickling its wild fermentation, standard Western cheesemaking practice today is decidedly unnatural. In The Art of Natural Cheesemaking, David Asher practices and preaches a traditional, but increasingly countercultural, way of making cheese—one that is natural and intuitive, grounded in ecological principles and biological science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book encourages home and small-scale commercial cheesemakers to take a different approach by showing them:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to source good milk, including raw milk;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to keep their own bacterial starter cultures and fungal ripening cultures;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow make their own rennet—and how to make good cheese without it;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to avoid the use of plastic equipment and chemical additives; and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to use appropriate technologies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book sounds a clarion call to cheesemakers to adopt more natural, sustainable practices. It may well change the way we look at cheese, and how we make it ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chelsea Green","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49852084748516,"sku":"dyt1789302038090","price":27.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/6878\/0516\/files\/the-art-of-natural-cheesemaking_1.jpg?v=1789302046","url":"https:\/\/www.moxriva.com\/products\/the-art-of-natural-cheesemaking","provider":"Moxriva","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
