per personThe workshop in detail
Hosted by Paula, this three-hour workshop offers participants to discover the world of cheesemaking. Participants have the opportunity to transform two litres of supermarket milk into two varieties of fresh cheese, gaining hands-on experience in both rennet and acid coagulated cheesemaking methods.
The workshop begins with a warm welcome, with a cup of coffee or tea. Paula introduces the participants to the ethos of De Kaasserie and outlines the day's activities, setting the stage for an engaging and educational experience.
Participants start by preparing the first litre of milk for rennet coagulation. This process, while technical, is made accessible and enjoyable under Paula's expert guidance. As the first batch of cheese takes shape, the workshop shifts focus to acid coagulated cheesemaking, providing a comprehensive understanding of different cheesemaking techniques.
There's a harmonious blend of learning and experimentation as attendees infuse their cheeses with a variety of herbs and spices, personalising their creations. The workshop is not only about making cheese; it's an exploration of how milk transforms into this beloved food.
The session concludes with a celebratory drink and a cheese tasting, showcasing the fruits of the participants' labour. Each participant leaves not only with cherished memories but also with essential cheesemaking tools - rennet, calcium, and a cheesecloth - to continue their culinary adventures at home.

Meet De Kaasserie
Cheesemaker and designer
Paula's journey as an interior and product designer is deeply interwoven with her rich cultural heritage and personal experiences. Born in Mexico, her life's trajectory took her from Memphis to Chile to France and currently the Netherlands. These diverse cultural influences are evident in her work, particularly her love for vibrant colours and dynamic designs, a nod to her Mexican roots.
Her connection to food, especially traditional Mexican cuisine, plays a pivotal role in her creative expression. In Amsterdam, a longing for Chilean cheese inspired her to explore cheese-making, leading to the creation of 'Shaping Cheese' - a series of elegantly designed porcelain moulds for home cheese-making.
This culinary venture extended into 'De Kaasserie,' where Paula merges her design expertise with her passion for food. Through cheese-making workshops, she offers others the opportunity to create and share in the joy of artisanal cheese. For Paula, 'De Kaasserie' is not just a business, but a personal space where she reconnects with her heritage and invites others to discover their own sense of belonging through the art of cheese-making.
