Artisan Butter Making Course

Next Course: 19th October 2024

Join us for an immersive butter-making experience at Caws Teifi. In this full-day workshop, you'll explore the art of crafting butter using organic Welsh cream. Learn from Camille and Maya, our expert butter makers, as they guide you through various methods, including traditional & modern techniques.

By the end of the workshop, you will have produced your own cultured butter, 'sweet' butter and buttermilk to take home, along with the knowledge to continue making fresh butter in your own kitchen. The day includes a homemade lunch and a tour of our dairy.

What You'll Learn

During the workshop, you'll discover the secrets behind making perfect butter. We’ll explore the differences between cultured cream and fresh cream, and you’ll learn how to churn butter using food processors, barrel churns, and jar churns. Once the butter is made, you’ll wash, pat, and even experiment with making flavoured butter. Expect to leave with your own freshly made butter and buttermilk, ready to impress friends and family.

Workshop Schedule

The day begins at 9 am with coffee, tea & cake in our gallery, followed by a short presentation of the butter-making process at Teifi Cheese.

At 10 am, we’ll head to the butter room where you'll learn about the different churning methods.

The butter will be chilled at 1 pm while we enjoy a homemade lunch together. Afterward, you’ll pack your butter and embark on a tour of the dairy.

The day concludes at 3 pm when you’ll receive resources to help continue your butter-making journey at home.
