Ceci n'est pas un magicien!
Jacques shows us his magic potion to make cheese...not a want but Rennet. We discovery that the pupils do not know the rhyme about Little Miss Muffet which includes the word whey....
The process of making cheese
Rennet + milk + fat + salt
Salt makes the find..la croûte.
3 types of cheese. Fresh, medium, mature.
1 week to make 1 cheese.
Compare parmesan which takes much longer.
He sells cheese in the market and on Thursday afternoon at a farm market. Not sold at the hypermarket.
Coach status!
