Learn to Craft Beautiful Cheese and See Where Your New Skill Can Take You.
Enjoy creative enrichment or explore the step-by-step framework to lead your own tastings, classes, and cheese experiences.
Guided by Claudia Lucero, cheesemaker, author and founder of Urban Cheesecraft.
The two program options below offer support that meets you right where you are. You don't need a chef's kitchen, a teaching space or a culinary degree. It all starts with your love of cheese!
Program 1: Cheesecraft Certification - Creative Enrichment and Small Demonstrations.
Perfect for hobbyists, anyone who wants to share cheesemaking casually in small groups or as a fun side gig. You will learn to make several fresh cheeses from my books and kits, and I will show you exactly how I demonstrate basic cheesemaking for beginners. These simple and crowd-pleasing demonstrations are how I started teaching in 2009 and they remain a core part of my classes today.
Program 2: Licensed Cheesecraft Instructor Program - Start Your Own Cheesemaking Classes and Events Business
You get everything included in the Certification, plus a complete cheesemaking teaching education and business system designed for aspiring instructors who want to host premium hands-on workshops, private group classes, team building events and tasting experiences while creating a flexible income doing something they love.

If we have not met yet, that's me in the front.
I have taught cheesemaking through my company Urban Cheesecraft since 2009. I've written several books about making and serving cheese as well as using the whey byproduct. I travel to teach different communities, skill levels and people of all ages. My online classes, books and DIY Cheese Kits have allowed me to reach people all over the world to help them discover the creativity, connection, and magic that comes from sharing this craft.
I cannot wait to pass it all on to you. Claudia
