The art of making Italian-Style Mozzarella

Join us for a deliciously fun, hands-on workshop in the magical misty mountains of Hogsback, where mozzarella is the star and you’re the cheesemaker!

In this four-hour experience, you’ll learn the traditional art of crafting Italian-style mozzarella from scratch—stretching, shaping, and tasting your way to cheesy perfection. It’s more than a workshop—it’s a celebration of slow food, community, and the joy of making something beautiful (and delicious) with your hands.

Wife, mother, homesteader, yoga teacher and therapist.

Together with her husband and their two children, Heike moved to Hogsback in 2018 in search of a life closer to nature, where they could also take greater control of their family’s nutrition. A yoga teacher and physical therapist, she has a keen interest in holistic health and healing, much of which is also based on nutrition. When it comes to her family, wholesome nutrition is especially important. In addition to growing their own vegetables, Heike makes all the bread, cheese, butter, and yoghurt they consume.
