Authored by acclaimed cheesemaker Gianaclis Caldwell, this book empowers readers to craft unique cheeses with confidence, covering everything from equipment setup to advanced aging methods. Highly rated and widely praised, it’s the essential resource for anyone serious about mastering the craft. ## Description The key to becoming a successful artisan cheesemaker is to develop the intuition essential for problem solving and developing unique styles of cheeses. There are an increasing number of books on the market about making cheese, but none approaches the intricacies of cheesemaking science alongside considerations for preparing each type of cheese variety in as much detail as Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking . Indeed, this book fills a big hole in the market. Beginner guides leave you wanting more content and explanation of process, while recipe-based cookbooks often fail to dig deeper into the science, and therefore don’t allow for a truly intuitive cheesemaker to develop. Acclaimed cheesemaker Gianaclis Caldwell has written the book she wishes existed when she was starting out. Every serious home-scale artisan cheesemaker―even those just beginning to experiment―will want this book as their bible to take them from their first quick mozzarella to a French mimolette, and ultimately to designing their own unique cheeses. This comprehensive and user-friendly guide thoroughly explains the art and science that allow milk to be transformed into epicurean masterpieces. Caldwell offers a deep look at the history, science, culture, and art of making artisan cheese on a small scale, and includes detailed information on equipment and setting up a home-scale operation. A large part of the book includes extensive process-based recipes dictating not only the hard numbers, but also the concepts behind each style of cheese and everything you want to know about affinage (aging) and using oils, brushes, waxes, infusions, and other creative aging and flavoring techniques. Also included are beautiful photographs, profiles of other cheesemakers, and in-depth appendices for quick reference in the preparation and aging room. Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking will also prove an invaluable resource for those with, or thinking of starting, a small-scale creamery. Let Gianaclis Caldwell be your mentor, guide, and cheering section as you follow the pathway to a mastery of cheesemaking. For the avid home hobbyist to the serious commercial artisan, Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking is an irreplaceable resource. Review: Excellent reference book for cheesemakers - To me the best book on cheese making. As a novice cheese maker I have read many books on cheese making. This book answered all my questions in a concise, informative and uncomplicated manner. A great reference for both amateur and experienced cheese makers. Review: Just what I needed - The book is very different as compared to what I expected. It is also very different as compared to a number of other books that focus on different recipes without giving the reader a better understanding of the science behind cheese making. The book is very well organized and covers a lot of the basics, including what happens at the different stages of cheese making including acidity levels, etc. Also, the unique feature of the book is that it does not focus on specific recipes for each cheese, but divides into categories of cheeses based on identifiable characteristics, such as washed curds, etc. It helps a beginner like me to understand what makes certain cheeses similar to others. Also, one of the things I have got from the book is that you need not be tied down to a specific recipe and it encourages the reader to experiment and learn by trying out different approaches. I think this gives a much more fuller understanding which I have not seen in several other resources. My biggest takeaway from the book is that when making cheese, the details, such as acidity levels, size and uniformity of the curd, the rate of heating, etc. are vary important and need to be fully understood to be able to make consistent, good cheeses. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #64,785 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #18 in Cheese & Dairy Cooking #95 in Chemical Engineering #107 in Materials & Material Science | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 341 Reviews | ## Images ![Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking: The Ultimate Guide for Home-Scale and Market Producers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qMIN2nBHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent reference book for cheesemakers *by M***N on 12 March 2026* To me the best book on cheese making.
