If you have never made cheese before, this is one of nine cheesemaking kit options to help you start a cheesemaking journey. The cheeses in this kit are aimed at beginner cheesemakers. Each cheese is very easy to make.
The information in each recipe lists each step very clearly so you can turn out wonderful cheese each time. Each of the kits will allow you to make hundreds of cheeses. Each kit also comes with a supplementary guide that explains why you are undertaking each step and a detailed technical information booklet for those who want to explore the science of cheesemaking further. The recipes and the booklets are emailed the same day the kit is posted.
The only items you need to purchase are pasteurised but not homogenised milk and some supermarket cream depending on the recipe. Use your own common kitchen items such as saucepans, stirrers and knives.
All the cheeses from this kit can be made using cow’s milk, goat’s milk or mixed cow and goat milk.
