The Company
Paula Lambert fell for fresh mozzarella in Italy and opened a small factory in downtown Dallas in 1982 to make it at home. The company now makes more than 100,000 pounds of cheese a year and over forty products, still entirely by hand: fresh mozzarella, goat cheeses and Mexican-style cooking cheeses among them.
The Classes
The classes are hands-on rather than demonstrations. You make cheese on the factory floor alongside the cheesemakers, then finish with a wine and cheese tasting party with red and white wines and fresh and aged cheeses. Everyone goes home with a chef's apron and the cheese they made. Sessions run from noon to 2pm and from 3 to 5pm.
Published dates for 2026 are Saturday 31 October, 14 November, 28 November and 5 December. Put the date and time you want in the request form on the class page. The price is not listed online, so ask when you book. Private classes and wine and cheese pairing classes can be arranged by contacting the company.
Visiting
The factory is on Elm Street on the edge of Deep Ellum, east of downtown Dallas. Its listed hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm; call (214) 741-4072 before coming to buy cheese. From Dallas, Veldhuizen Cheese in Dublin makes a good day trip southwest.
