The Art of Cheesemaking at Home ~ Turn Milk into GOLD! ~ Parmesan Cheese that is!

Hello, friends! It’s cheese-making day at Hamilton Homestead, and today I’m making Parmesan cheese, our most popular variety. Parmesan is a true labor of love—it takes at least 12 months to age before we get to enjoy it! They say, “Cheese, the Original Slow Food,” and this process proves it.

In this video, I walk you through all 8 stages of making Parmesan, from sanitizing equipment to pressing and brining the wheel. If you've ever wanted to try your hand at cheesemaking, I hope this inspires you—because you don’t need a homestead to do it! It’s a rewarding skill that connects us to time-honored traditions and incredible flavors.

I will scratch the surface on the science behind cultures, enzymes, and curd cutting, talk about why Parmesan curds are cut to 1/4-inch, and I’ll give you a peek at John's handmade charcuterie boards—perfect for serving cheese!
