UPDATE: Make Mozzarella Potlucks Announced!

by:
April 10, 2012

UPDATE! We've announced the hosts of the 30 potlucks happening around the country -- join one near you!

Last October, the FOOD52 community came together to celebrate the release of our cookbook -- and the subsequent potlucks were quite the festive events. We love it when our digital community gets together in the real world, and we want to do it all over again: we're thrilled to announce our Make Mozzarella Potlucks, sponsored by California Olive Ranch and scheduled for the weekend of April 20, 2012.

Shop the Story

We'd like you to get together and host events in the houses of FOOD52ers around the world to make mozzarella from scratch (don't worry, we'll show you how!), enjoy a lovely potluck meal, and have a tasting of California Olive Ranch's two most popular olive oils. Each potluck host will receive the Chef's Favorite 2-Bottle Tasting Set: a 500ml bottle of Arbequina (rated the number one California-grown olive oil by Cooks Illustrated) and a 500ml bottle of Miller's Blend (winner of gold medals in Italy, Israel, and California) as well as tasting notes to share with guests during the meal.

The deadline to sign up for hosting a potluck is Friday, March 30. We have Tasting Sets for only 30 potlucks, so pipe up in the comments now! You'll have three weeks to plan the potluck with your guests -- not to mention learn how to make mozzarella! -- before the weekend of April 20. Don't forget: we'll be accepting all photos, videos, recipes, and write-ups to share on FOOD52! 

How to Get Involved

• WANT TO HOST A POTLUCK? Post a comment below to sign up before Friday, March 30 -- be sure to tell us your city or metro area so that others can join. We'll be periodically updating this post with locations and hosts. We'll get in contact with you to send the California Olive Ranch Host package. All potlucks have been claimed!

As requested. How nice of you to send a note -- I'm sure California Olive Ranch will appreciate hearing from you! Glad to hear the olive oil was a big hit at the mozzarella potlucks.

That's a great idea AntoniaJames. I am about to order some olive oil in bulk from them, so I'll be sure to pass it on. We had the BEST time making mozzarella and designing our "Chick Pizzas". We even invented a Food52 Fig Olive pizza using Kayb's Fig and Olive Tapenade as the base. It was the so goo with pears and mozzarella on top. Here's the blog post: http://www.jacksonholefoodie.com/1/category/mozzarella%20cheese%20making/1.html
 
AntoniaJames May 1, 2012
Editors, would you please post the name and postal address of your point person at California Olive Ranch? I'd like to send a thank you note for their generous sponsorship of these parties. I'm sure others here would like to do the same. Thank you so much. ;o)
 
phoebe's P. April 24, 2012
we had a wonderful time meeting new folks, making new things and tasting, tasting ... tasting...blogged here http://phoebespurefood.com/2012/04/22/cooking-class-how-to-make-mozzarella-via-food52-part-1/
 
AntoniaJames April 24, 2012
Wow, I'm really looking forward to your next post, phoebe. I've seen several sources that suggest using the microwave for heating. That makes a lot of sense! We spent a lot of time heating whey to use as the stretching medium -- we made three batches of cheese and the whey cooled down before the cheese was stretched and shaped -- it got rather messy , too. I have a gallon of milk left and was planning to make another batch when I finish my time-sensitive client projects in a few days. But now, raw milk?! I am eager to hear more! ;O)
 
phoebe's P. April 24, 2012
hey there antonia, you can find my 2nd post (the food everyone brought, my cheese experiment, and olive oil paring) on my blog.... this was all a kind pricey experiment but so much fun! I found after many gallons and much reading raw milk is what worked. I could not find low heat treated, even in the local brand. Also found that adding an entire rennet tablet (junket brand) sped up the set.
Took my last gallon of milk to my nephews last night to teach them. FUN!
heating the whey... i tried the double boiler which was effective but messy to clean. Microwave made it fast and easy. not as romantic :) good luck with the next batch..... one of my guests made dulce de leche with her left over whey. here is her post ... she's a food 52'er http://mygardenerstable.wordpress.com/tag/dulce-de-leche/
 
AntoniaJames April 24, 2012
This is so helpful! I just (yesterday) noticed too that my darling independent grocery store sells "Junket" tablets. I was calling around everywhere looking for tablets, and no one had them. I finally got one (just one, can you believe it?) in a "cheesemaking kit" from Sur La Table. I had zero time due to the demands of my law practice, and that was the only option I had, mostly due to SLT's evening store hours, so I just bit the bullet. I had tried one batch the week before using liquid rennet, but it didn't turn out, primarily I think because I didn't get the stretching liquid hot enough. So looking forward to trying with raw milk and using the microwave. Thanks again! ;o)
 
phoebe's P. April 24, 2012
glad you located the tablets. i'm lucky to live in farm country. in every recipe i have seen it reads that the cheese will set in 5 minutes. that never happened once, in all of our batches. one gals cheese was still a loose "cottage cheese" texture after 15 min so we added the other 1/2 of the rennet and it set right up. the best site to trouble shoot is http://www.cheesemaking.com/howtomakemozzarellacheese.html. good luck! look forward to hearing how it went.
 
BethyH April 24, 2012
Thanks, FOOD52 for the great party idea! We had a blast on Saturday at AntoniaJames' place, making cheese and chatting about food. Check out my blog post on the party: http://www.learningcurd.com/2012/04/food52-make-mozzarella-potluck.html

Thanks again!
 
AntoniaJames April 24, 2012
And thank YOU, Bethy, for joining us, making the party so much fun, and taking all the photos! We got so lucky, too, didn't we, with the (very) rare warm weather for our dinner outside. Love your blog post, and wish you all the best with LearningCurd.com! ;o)
 
AntoniaJames April 22, 2012
A quick report/advisory for people who have yet to begin your mozza making. The editors are absolutely right about making the liquid that you use for stretching as hot as possible. It makes a huge difference. We made three different batches. The last one, with really hot whey -- we used that instead of water, on hardlikearmour's suggestion -- turned out best, at least in terms of making the cheese easier to stretch. ;o)

hardlikearmour March 19, 2012
It sounds like fun, but unfortunately for me I'll be out of town that week end :-(
My 2 cents on making mozzarella: go to the hardware store and buy some neoprene gloves to wear - they are great at keeping your hands from burning while you stretch and knead the hot cheese.

Awesome! Based on the comments, it sounds like we should talk to Jackie Chadwick and margaret.spring, also. I live on top of the A/C/G, but also very close to the 2, 3, F and R, so it's no trouble to get around. I would also be very happy to be our camera woman :)

I'd love to host or participate in a mozzarella potluck. I'm in Honolulu, Hawaii. Such great timing, too. There's been an Indiegogo fundraising campaign for Naked Cow Dairy, the last remaining dairy on the island of Oahu, so they could get the machinery and build out so they could start producing cheese here in Hawaii. So excited for that! Cheese, glorious cheese!!! :D

Thanks in advance,

And of course, I'll make plenty of boulangere's Italian Boule (one of the best recipes for bread on FOOD52, incidentally, in case you haven't made it yet) to eat with the mozza and to sop up that gorgeous, fragrant olive oil. ;o)

VIVIAN! I'd love to attend your mozzarella potluck! I am swamped in April so was initially sad b/c I don't have time to host, however, I will make time to attend your party. Keep me posted... (PS - a good friend of mine recently sent me a kit...I'm going to try it this week with the kiddos).

How about I do some potluck hosting honors here in Prague, Czech Republic? Having already learned to make a killer ricotta from the Food52 community, I'm sure that this mozzarella will be to die for too.

Hi Pheobe,
I will be making my way back to Carlisle from Philadelphia on Sunday the 21st and would love to stop in to make Mozz! I'd have three other folks in the car who would love that too. I think onetribegourmet is in the LeHigh Valley. And I have a cheese-making friend in Mechanicsburg, too and another food writer I bet I could convince to come along.
Cheers,
Christine Burns Rudalevige aka cheese1227
