Dairy Manufacturing Online Certificate: Module 18 - Specialty Cheese Making

Module 18 focuses on the broad categories of specialty cheeses.

Module 18 Course Overview

It is important to understand that specialty cheese makers are more likely to use less automated and more traditional methods than described in module 17 Basic Cheese Making.

Their methods and ingredients while different must still be constantly evaluated for safety and impact on quality.
