Description
This cheese making kit is fun for all ages, simply add milk and enjoy. What could be better than making fresh, homemade mozzarella in your own kitchen.
With this kit you can go from fresh milk to stretching mozzarella in approximately 30 minutes. Along with mozzarella you can also make fresh whole milk ricotta, yum.
When making mozzarella, or any cheese, we always suggest local dairies, when available. For mozzarella the milk needs to be processed below 170F, at the dairy, for proper curd formation.

Good milk
Use the freshest milk you can find, local milk is always best, when available.
Milk that has been pasteurized above 170F can be problematic for curd formation, when making 30 minute mozzarella. If you see problems with curd formation, we recommend contacting the dairy and asking about their milk processing temperatures.
This kit can be made with any type of low heat processed milk, including goat milk and powdered milk.

United StatesThis kit makes it easy to have cheesemaking Classes
Our students all buy a kit and this makes it so easy for me, everything they need is in it and all I supply are some insulated boxes (to keep the cheese warm while each student is working )
United States18 years later
I first bought this kit about 18 years go when my kids were little, little. We began making cheese together as a family activity, something we could enjoy with our small ones. We made cheese with them a couple times a month for several years, and then sorta gave it up. Recently I bought this kit again and made a batch of fresh mozzarella just for old-times sake. One of my daughters, who is now a young adult, found it in the fridge and took a bite. She got a big smile on her face and said, "This takes me back to when I was a little girl!" Of all your products that we have tried, this is our favorite. Not only is it yummy cheese, but it's part of our family tradition.

Booklet not accurate
I've tried three times, once was store bought milk, not good, twice with farm raw milk, both times it did not set up. I warmed again and added another quarter tablet, It did work better. But when I viewed the recipe on line it said it may take thirty minutes. I will go to the farm again, and let it sit for up to thirty minutes, but also may try a different rennet.
