The Specialist Cheesemakers’ Association (UK) and Neal’s Yard Dairy are sponsoring a conference on the Science of Artisan Cheese on the 28th-29th of August. Its purpose is to bring together scientists working on research relevant to raw milk cheesemaking with cheesemakers, public health policy makers, and members of the industry for presentation of current research and exchange of ideas. This is a scientific conference, with a focus on bringing in-depth information about current research to the cheesemaking community. That said, the goal is to present the information in a straightforward and clear way so that even those without formal scientific training can understand and benefit from it.

Speakers include:
Keynote Speaker Harold McGee
Dr Marie-Christine Montel, INRA Clermont-Ferrand.
Dr Rachel Dutton and Dr Ben Wolfe, Harvard University.
Dr Cath Rees, University of Nottingham.
Dr Christine Dodd, University of Nottingham.
Dr Cathy Donnelly, Vermont Institute of Artisan Cheese.
Dr Mansel Griffiths, University of Guelph.
Matthew Ranieri, Cornell University.
Dr Art Hill, University of Guelph.
Dr Heather Paxson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Dr Maria Pais, Fytozimus.

This is a rare opportunity to hear about current research and its practical applications, as well as to meet and forge relationships that will serve members of the industry well in the future. It should also be a lot of fun!

All are welcome, but places are filling up quickly. To guarantee your place, please register here by Friday 27 July.
