About Merryl Winstein, Cheesemaker, St. Louis, Missouri.

I am Merryl Winstein, and for 22 years I raised dairy goats and made cheese in suburban St. Louis, Missouri, USA.

I started loving cheese as a teenager when I traveled alone to Denmark to visit my penpal and live with her family. There I ate phenomenal cheeses that weren’t available here at home. Those flavors inspired a lifelong journey of learning and then teaching the time-honored, traditional, and professional methods for making fabulous tasting cheese.  

I’ve taught a few thousand people of all ages, how to make delicious, authentic, artisan cheese of all types, at home or in the cheese making plant. Whether you've never made cheese before, or your cheese needs improvement, it's easy to learn the accurate yet simple techniques that will empower you to make wonderful cheese successfully, whether at home or in the plant.
