The Vegan Fromagerie Workshop – Create Vegan Aged Cheeses at Home

Join vegan French cheesemaker Elodie at Manifold & Co in Hawthorn for a deep dive into the world of aged, cultured vegan cheeses: think creamy camembert, funky blue, and ashed brie with beautiful edible rinds. Whether you’re vegan, dairy-free, eco-conscious, or simply curious, this workshop will show you how accessible — and fun — gourmet vegan cheese making can be. You’ll be introduced to the transformation from simple ingredients to beautifully aged cheeses, learn the essential techniques behind culturing and rind development, and taste a curated selection of cheeses.

For $20, each of the 3 cheeses for the degustation will be paired with Australian vegan wines (paid at Manifold & Co on the day) or non alcoholic wine or cocktails.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll be ready to take the next steps to stock your fridge with your very own artisanal creations — perfect for cheese boards, dinner parties, or a quiet night in with good bread and better company. This workshop is for everyone — not just vegans!

Manifold & Co is dog-friendly, fully gluten-free and a 3 min-walk from Auburn Station.
