River Whey Creamery

07/26/2026

Another great day around the vat. Today has been an Advanced Washed Curd Cheesemaking class.

These folks will be coming back to the creamery on September 25th to harvest the cheese wheels we made today. These cheeses will get waxed and then aged out in our caves.

Harvest Day is the opportunity to meet up again with your classmates, package your own wheel that you made, and have some nibbles and wine.

Check out our website if you’d like to sign up for your own cheese adventure!

We are so thrilled to be in Louisville, Kentucky at the 2026 American Cheese Society Conference!

We’ve got a full house of guests today learning about Milled Curd cheeses and making a batch in our vat.

All of our Advanced Cheesemaking classes include a tasting of six different cheeses from around the world.

Each guests will hoop the curds into a numbered cheese mold, and then the cheeses will age out in our caves.

After a couple of months in the caves, everyone comes back for the evening that we call Harvest Day.
