Singing, Dancing and Churning the Cheese in Sicily
"I had no idea cheese making was such a lengthy process. We stirred slowly in a counterclockwise direction and then down the middle of the pot. If someone wasn’t doing this correctly, Fabio Gennaro and his nephews would stop that person and show them how to do it the right way."
-- Peyton Cantrell ’21
