On January 31, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, a special workshop will take place at the 'Brot und Kunst Museum' in Ulm as part of the current exhibition Tiny Giants.

The workshop “Poor Man’s Cheese. Mediterranean Forgotten Histories” is led by Penelope Volinia, doctoral researcher in the ENB-research group Off the Menu: Appetites, Culture, and Environment.

Starting from a brief historical introduction to Kechek el Fouqara, a nearly forgotten fermented dish from the Mediterranean region, the workshop explores fermentation as a method for preserving grains and the central role of microorganisms in this process.

In the hands-on section, participants will make the kechek themselves, shape it, and taste it together.

The workshop will be conducted in English.
