What to expect from the Montecristo Academy experience.

FUN, LOVE AND FANTASY

Each class with us is a different experience: we will play with seasonal ingredients
And we’ll teach you a recipe to share with whomever you like.
You know that children love to get hands-on, right?

MAKE CHEESE AT HOME AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT

Thanks to the recipe we will share with you during the class, you can remake at home the
cheese as often as you like.

FEW INGREDIENTS, FEW TOOLS, LITTLE TIME

We called it the 3 P’s method.

EXPERIENCE AND PASSION

Riccardo, a cheesemaker at Montecristo Dairy for over 30 years, will guide you step by step
in the creation of your 1st artisanal cheese

THE MONTECRISTO METHOD

Our idea is to be able to give each of you an experience that will remain in your heart.
This is where our method comes from.

Cheese is made of few but quality ingredients.
Milk, rennet ferments and natural flavors such as truffle, lemon, arugula or raisins.
Here, these will be the only ingredients we will use.
The last secret ingredient? Love.

Once you learn the recipe during class, we will give you a small cookbook to take to
home with you.
You can use everyday utensils such as whips to recreate your cheese at home,
spoons and a common scale.
Of course, if you then want to become a PRO cheesemaker, you can always purchase our KIT
CASARO AT HOME on our shop!

What if we told you that to make your cheese takes is 40 minutes?
You are already thinking about how many cutting boards you will prepare for friends and family, aren’t you?

The Professor, better known as CASARO

We don’t like to call him Professor, he is Riccardo and he has been our super dairyman for over 30 years.

In recent years, many local and national newspapers have talked about us and our experience, not only in training and experimentation, but particularly in bringing innovation to the world of cheese.

The one between us and cheeses is a story of love and passion.

Our promise: a recipe that lasts a lifetime

Montecristo Academy’s courses and experiences are based on years of experience as cheesemakers, years of studying and testing the recipes of the cheeses we make, and the great passion that drives us every day.
We have been producing more than 100 kinds of cheeses since 1994 and have trained generations of cheesemakers.
We love concreteness and practicality. Therefore, all our courses include the part
theoretical but especially the PRACTICAL part.
In short, you get it, we love PUT OUR HANDS IN THE MONEY and we can’t wait to have you with us!
