Our guide was Agate and she was so kind and funny and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed being able to make both cheese and butter in a group setting, everyone in the group was so kind! We all made one pot of cheese but made different kinds of butter, my group made demi-salty and it was the perfect amount of salty. We got to take home cheese and butter to enjoy on our own!

Great Experience! We highly recommend it. My husband enjoyed the chemistry involved in making cheese. I loved all of it. I will definitely be making butter when we get home.

This experience was exactly what we were hoping for! Learning to make cheese and butter in Paris! We can’t wait to make both again at home. Lola was a great teacher! She made class so fun! The different cheese tastings with wine/juice were an added plus!! Thank you!!

It’s a real hands on experience, making beautiful cheese and butter. Pierre is knowledgeable and very experienced in not just mailing the products but also a skilled trainer.

Guillaume was incredible. We would highly recommend this class as is was education, fun and above all tasty! Making cheese was great but the butter…omg! It was a great was to spend 2 hours.

I booked this class and was so excited to take it but my flight got canceled and I could not make it to Paris. When I reached out to express this they told me that my only option is to attend a class I physically can’t make because I will be back in America. Pretty bummed that they were unwilling to help me when I was physically unable to attend and missed out. Def wouldn’t recommend business with people like this.

Fantastic class with Agathe. Small friendly group too! We will definitely be making butter at home and have a much better understanding of the cheese making process. Definitely recommend!

This was a lot of fun, very educational, and delicious! Thomas, was a great host, so knowledgeable and was pleasant to spend a few hours with. I've never made butter before, whisking was a lot of work and delicious! We learned so much about the cheeses of France. There is a museum in a different location you are invited to go to, so save time for that. Thank you Thomas!

A truly great experience. Fun, so informative. You could really see the passion for the craft! It was one of our top experiences in Paris.

What a fun way to spend a morning in Paris! Thomas taught us all about the cheese- and butter-making processes, and we got to try our hands at making both. I learned a lot and had a great time. We ended by tasting the butter and cheese we’d made, as well as several more professionally made, delicious cheeses.

It was great learning the science behind making cheese. The butter making experience was so much fun too! We had a wonderful time

We met at the Museum of Cheese and then walked to a commercial kitchen where we learned about and prepared cheese and butter. The butter was amazing!! After it was all prepared we shared the cheeses, butter, a baguette and some red wine. It was very enjoyable and we left with some of what we made. Breakfast this morning was a baguette with fresh butter on it. Sublime!

This was so much fun extremely educational! I had no idea how much chemistry was involved in she’s making, very well explained and there’s a short museum tour as well. Highly recommend especially for the price.
Loretta_C, Oct 2025
This was the highlight of my our trip to Paris! It was such a unique & fun experience; my sister and I loved it. Our teacher, Agatha, was very knowledgeable, engaging, and just a joy to be with. We were thrilled when she offered to take pictures of us & even made a short video for our family explaining what we were doing. So much fun - far exceeded our expectations. Thank-you, Agatha, for such a memorable experience.
