Silmači ir neliela ģimenes saimniecība, kur no pašu kazu piena top dažādi kazas piena sieri. Siera gatavošana apgūta pakāpeniski – apvienojot vietējās lauku sētas tradīcijas ar zināšanām un pieredzi, kas gūta, pētot un mācoties gan Latvijā, gan ārpus tās.

Sieri

Dažādi kazas piena sieri – no svaigiem un maigiem līdz izteiksmīgiem, kūpinātiem un ilgi nogatavinātiem cietajiem sieriem. Piedāvājumā ir gan klasiskie svaigie sieri, gan sieri ar garšaugiem, kā arī kūpināti sieri ar bagātīgu garšu.

Kā top siers

Siers top no kvalitatīva kazas piena, kas nāk gan no pašu ganāmpulka, gan no uzticama vietējā piena ražotāja. Kazas tiek audzētas lauku vidē un barotas ar dabīgu, pašu sagatavotu barību, kas tieši ietekmē piena garšu un kvalitāti. Siers tiek gatavots no svaiga piena, rūpīgi kontrolējot katru soli – no slaukšanas līdz nogatavināšanai. Katrs siers top ar rokām, ļaujot pienam saglabāt savu dabisko raksturu un pārtapt izteiksmīgā, niansētā garšā.

Svaigie sieri tiek gatavoti pēc vienkāršām, paaudzēs mantotām metodēm, savukārt puscietie un cietie sieri top, iedvesmojoties no senām itāļu un pat Senās Romas laiku receptēm, piešķirot tiem savu raksturu un garšu.

Apmeklētājiem

Iespējams iepazīt kazu saimniecību un siera tapšanas stāstu no pirmavota. Sezonā no aprīļa līdz oktobrim var piedalīties degustācijās, nogaršojot dažādus kazas piena sierus un citus saimniecībā radītos produktus. Apmeklētāji var satikt kaziņas un kazlēnus, uzzināt vairāk par to ikdienu, dzirdēt saimniecības stāstus un kuriozus, kā arī nesteidzīgi izbaudīt lauku vidi. Mazākajiem viesiem pieejams rotaļu laukums.

Tiek piedāvātas arī meistarklases nelielām grupām – no kazas pupa līdz galdam, ļaujot izsekot visam siera, sviesta, biezpiena tapšanas ceļam.
