How long does it take to make cheese?

It will vary depending on the type of cheese you choose to make, but in general, the cheesemaking process looks like:

Do I need any special equipment or other ingredients?

For mozzarella, no—you probably have everything you need in your kitchen already. If you want to make a harder aged cheese, like Parmesan, you'll need cheese salt and a cheese press. It's also a good idea to have lipase for several cheeses.

What kind of milk should I use for cheesemaking?

Cheese can be made using almost any type of animal milk: cow, goat, sheep—even mare or camel. Unhomogenized milk is preferable, but you can absolutely use pasteurized, homogenized milk as well. The only kind we never recommend is ultra-pasteurized.

How long will the finished cheese last?

Your cheese will last 7–10 days in the fridge and 6–9 months in the freezer. Make sure to get some cheese salt (non-iodized salt) before freezing. It's a good idea to have cheese salt around anyway, as it enhances the flavor and helps it last longer.

What should I do with the leftover whey?

Don't just throw it out! Whey can be used as cooking liquid for potatoes, rice, grits, pasta and grains; as a starter culture for fermenting vegetables; as a nutrient boost in smoothies or drinks; to make whey cheese; or added to compost.

Great quality

I used this product ( culture) making a cheddar cheese and worked fantastic. Easy to use since they are in their separate use bags. Ingredients seem to be of quality. The price seems to be about the same as other shops.

It is fun to try for me!

I have not made any cheese with this culture yet. I did make Gouda with the Mesophilic culture, which is ready to be sealed. It is easy to use and make sure that you follow the temps to a tee! I attempted to make mozzarella and I think that I had my milk too warm and it would not stretch.

Important to upload information or a video.

I'm not sure if we did it right we couldn't make it. My mom is expert on making cheese. We won't try anymore so much time and we failed. Maybe the product works we couldn't find inaught information about.
