- Understanding your ingredients, tools and techniques

- Progressing to fermented dairy products such as kefir, yogurt and sour cream
- Using bacteria and coagulant to create spreadable and tender cheeses like quark, chevre, cream cheese and American style cottage cheese
Graduating to curdled, aged and ripened cheese–mozzarella, feta, cheddar, gouda, and parmesan.
