You will be making your own cheeses as well as watching demonstrations of how labneh, Irish cream liqueur, mascarpone or butter are made. Depending on the day you attend, the products of particular demonstrations will be enjoyed for lunch. Included in the sessions are all the ingredients and equipment, as well as tea or coffee on arrival and a glass of wine with lunch.
