Learning to make delicious cheeses is possible, but it is not easy. There is a shortage of professional cheesemakers, as graduates of food technology faculties lack experience working with milk.

This was told in an interview to The Ukrainian Farmer magazine by the owner of the farm “Sadochok+” Tetiana Karpenko.
“In Ukraine, there are only two cheesemaking schools, at least that I know of,” she said. “I studied cheesemaking in Ukraine, then in French and Italian cheese factories. In addition, before the war, Italian cheesemakers used to come to our farm.”
Currently, at “Sadochok+”, where they keep goats and process their milk, an experienced cheesemaker and two young people who studied abroad at the expense of the farm are working.
“This is the situation: you have to learn by yourself and teach others, although there are whole universities of food technology in the country,” emphasized Tetiana Karpenko. “Moreover, there is a risk that the cheesemaker you have trained may be lured away. But perhaps these are growing pains, as our goat farming is in its early stages.”
