This video is a couple of months old now, but I thought I would put a link to it here. I was asked by talented University of Otago Science Communication student Nicole Schafer if I would participate in a video she was making about cheese. Most specifically the video was about the charismatic "Evansdale cheese man" and his family, who sell delicious cheese at the Otago Farmer's Market. I demonstrated the cheese making process by making haloumi and ricotta in the lab, and I talked about some of the microorganisms involved in cheesemaking, including Brevibacterium linens (which forms the smelly yellow rind on wash-rind cheese), Penicillium (forming white and blue mould on some soft cheeses like brie and blue cheese), and Propionibacterium (gives holes to Swiss cheese). It was pretty good fun, but as is the nature of these things, about 4 hours filming me and my cheese making was tamed into a couple of minutes of cheese film goodness. I hope you enjoy it!
