Mozzarella cheese as we know it is being assaulted by the modern food industry into a shortcut product that is nothing like its traditional form. The consequences are much more than a lack of flavor and character. Our body deals with these imposters in completely different ways than it does with real cheese.

Here’s how former students have answered the question, “Why is learning to how to ferment dairy important to you?” Can you relate?
- Have avoided dairy in general due to modern processing, want to use healthy methods, especially to make CHEESE!
- Mostly for the nutritional value. I remember my grandmother making cheese and yogurt when I was very young, and wanted to one day make it myself. Should have learned long ago!
- My 6 year old son eats dairy-free. He’s always had issues with his GI system as a result of dairy. I am interesting in learning more about his needs and seeing if there are ways that we can process our food to make it available to him.
- Mostly to feed my family the most nutritious food possible. I’m skeptical about food from the grocery store and want to give my kids the best nutritional foundation that I can. Cooking is also a hobby for me and my kids.
- We eat a lot of yogurt and enjoy quality cheeses
- I love dairy and want to continue eating it for the rest of my life without worrying about whether it’s good for me or not.
- I’ve been on the path to making most of our nutrient dense food from scratch, and dairy is a piece of the puzzle that intimidates me the most.

Dr. Bill’s classes don’t overwhelm you with knowledge, or leave you swimming in despair regarding the food and health crisis our nation faces; they equip you with the tools to be an active participant in the solution. A few days ago, I attended a class about making fermented cheeses. I left with two recipes, a list of resources (where to buy ingredients and additional tools I might need), and the skill to replicate at home. Just a few days later and we are able to make our own pizza cheese to top our sourdough crust, homemade pizza sauce and venison sausage (that my husband killed and butchered).
