Profile
Kathy Biss NDD is internationally renowned for her cheese and cheesemaking courses. Many of Scotland’s current cheesemakers learnt their craft from Kathy and she is regularly invited to share her skills with potential and experienced cheesemakers across North America and Europe. Together with Wendy Barrie, Kathy co-presents the Cheese Champion Course at Scottish Food Studio & in the Highlands. We can also run this course for groups at your venue. Get in touch for details. I have seen Kathy’s well-thumbed book ‘Practical Cheesemaking’ on many a cheesemaker’s bookshelf on our visits to Scandinavia and I know it featured on bookshelves in USA too.
