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. **Q: What kind of milk should I use for cheesemaking?** A: 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. **Q: How long will the finished cheese last?** A: 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. **Q: What should I do with the leftover whey?** A: 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cultures for Health Thermophilic Cheese Starter | 4 Packets Gluten Free Direct-Set Culture + 2 Vegetable Rennet Tablets | DIY Hard Cheese, Parmesan, Mozzarella, Asiago, Romano, Swiss Cheese, & More - Cultures for Health Mesophilic Cheese Starter | 4 Packets Direct-Set Culture + 2 Rennet Tablets for Cheese Making | DIY Semi-Soft Fresh Cheese, Like Cheddar, Quark, Colby, Feta, Cottage Cheese, & More - North Mountain Supply Professional Quality Liquid Calf Rennet - Animal Rennet for Cheese Making - 4 Fluid Ounces --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/601049720-thermophilic-cheese-starter-4-packets-gluten-free-direct-set-culture](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/601049720-thermophilic-cheese-starter-4-packets-gluten-free-direct-set-culture) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
