MAKE YOUR CHEESE AND EAT IT TOO!

MAKE YOUR CHEESE AND EAT IT TOO!


Probably a one-of-its-kind experience in India, Acres Wild, an organic cheesemaking farmstay in Coonoor, in the Nilgiris, teaches hand-made gourmet cheesemaking. The guests, in this case a lot of Indians too, can participate in all the farming activities at this farmstay like milking cows, planting saplings and veggies, feeding ducks, geese and fishing in the farm’s pond. “We make artisan hand-made gourmet cheeses like Gouda, Cheddar, Colby, Parmesan, Monterey Jack, Gruyere, Feta, Haloumi and Camembert. We also make soft cheese in different flavours,” says Mansoor Khan, the owner. The cheesemaking course is a paid activity and should be booked in advance.
