Program of the team event

The program of your team event can be adapted to your wishes. Below you will find 2 example programs: a program for one daypart (3 hours) and a full day program. In consultation, the program can also be a mix of both. Please contact Esther , the cheese maker, if you have specific wishes.

Example: One daypart (3 hours)

Can be both morning or afternoon

09:30 / 13:00 - Ready, set ... go!

This will be an unforgettable team event! The preparation can begin: this means removing rings, washing hands and wearing a hairnet.

09:45 / 13:15 - Processing milk

We start with processing the milk, adding additives and the rennet to make the milk curdle.

Kaas maken

10:00 / 13:00 - Coffee with a treat

While the milk is curdling it is time for coffee or tea with a treat.

10:30 / 14:00 - Cutting, washing, filling and pressing cheese

After the coffee we cut the curd. The curd is washed several times and undergoes several process steps before the fresh cheese can go under the press.

12:30 / 16:00 - End

Making cheese is a delicate process, so we can deviate slightly from the timetable.

Afterwards - afterglow from this team event for at least 6 more weeks!

Esther will take the cheeses from the press later in the day and ensures that the cheeses reach you. The cheeses come in a box containing all the materials that everyone needs to further treat their own cheese. In the coming period, everyone will individually have to take care of their cheese diligently, with love, passion and patience, so that the cheese develops into a tasty cheese. The box contains instructions, so that everyone knows exactly what to do with the cheese. The cheese is ready to eat after six weeks. This way you can organize a new drink after 6 weeks, where everyone can bring their own cheese!

Example: full day program

Can be adjusted to your own wishes (in consultation)

Same start as with one half day

With a full day program you have the same start as with one half day. (See other example) In the morning we go through the following steps of making cheese: processing the milk, curdling, cutting, washing, filling and pressing. In between there is time for coffee or tea with a treat.

13:00 - A delicious lunch

While the cheese is under the press, Esther provides a delicious farmer’s lunch. Halfway through lunch we turn the cheeses and there is still enough time to enjoy the outdoors or to ask questions you had not yet asked.

In consultation, this step and the lunch can be shorter, so that you can alternate the program with your own input, such as a team meeting, inspiration session, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

Location

Option 1: self-chosen location

Kaas maken op eigen locatie

If you have your own location available where you can make cheese, Esther will be happy to come to you! Consider, for example, your own canteen, the kitchen of a restaurant in the area, a large shed of one of your team members, etc. First, check what a location must meet.

What requirements must a location meet?

Option 2: in Elburg

Uniek dagje uit: kaas maken

The workshop is given at the beautiful dairy farm of the van der Kolk family in Elburg, on the edge of the Veluwe. During the workshop you have a beautiful view of the cows in the barn. If the ladies feel like it, they walk to the meadow or to the milking robot, eat something delicious or stand under the massage brush. We use the milk from the cows of the van der Kolk family to make cheese.
