Mark is a valued team member at Sartori and has been making cheese since 1995 and became a licensed cheesemaker in 1997.  It was then he knew one day he'd enter the Master Cheesemaker program.  The program is an advanced three year education program for experienced cheesemakers.  In order to apply for entry, one must have a minimum of 10 years as a licensed cheesemaker and be making the variety they wish to be certified in for a minimum of 5 years.  "The program is rigorous.  There's a three year apprenticeship along with a written test," stated Gustafson.  "The exam is intense.  You have to know all aspects of cheesemaking including sanitation and regulatory requirements."
