Cheese Making Kits

Cheese making kits - Farmhouse Cheddar

I love making cheese!  It is one of life’s simple pleasures, not only in the eating of this delicious fare, but in the making of this dairy delight.  So what better way to get started yourself than with cheese making kits.

During my time as a home cheese maker, I’ve created over 30 different styles of cheese in my very own kitchen, and it all started for me with a simple cheese making kit.  Making each cheese starts off with one simple ingredient; Milk.  The better your milk, the better your final cheese.  That’s a lesson I learnt the hard way.  I now only buy unhomogenised milk with which to make my cheesy creations as it sets a much better curd after renneting.

Over time I have purchased more equipment to complement my cheese gear so that I could make cheeses from soft like Queso Fresco and Mozzarella, to long maturing italian hards like Parmesan and Romano.  However, all these cheeses wouldn’t have been possible without my first cheese making kit.

Italian Cheese Kit

Italian Cheese Kit

Italian cheese is in a class of its own.  Most have a piquant flavour that is created with the use of a Lipase enzyme, which adds character and depth to these cheeses.  Using this Italian cheese kit you can make; Cultured Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan, Romano, Pepato, and Whey Ricotta.

Make sure that you have somewhere to age the harder Italian cheeses as they take up to 1 year to fully develop.  I have converted a bar fridge for that very purpose and turned it into my ‘cheese cave‘.

Bloomy rind cheeses such as Camembert are always a family favourite.  The delicate flavours are enhanced by the soft fuzzy rind that’s created by using Penicillium Candidum mould.  This Camembert Kit makes 25 batches of Camembert Cheese, with each batch producing 4 individual Camembert Cheeses.  It is an Intermediate Cheese Kit, ideal for those with some cheese making experience.
