United StatesWonderful supplies for a beginner!!
As a beginning cheese maker, all my supplies have worked as they are supposed to, leaving very little room for failure when used as directed.
United StatesMakes All the Difference
I've always had trouble getting curd to form, even when using non ultra pasteurized milk. Calcium chloride makes all the difference. Just a quarter teaspoon in a gallon and it does it's magic. Some people add it and leave it overnight, but I just poured the milk in a large pot, added the calcium chloride and left it on the counter for a half hour or so and the curd formed beautifully.
United StatesWorks well
Not sure exactly what it does, but my halloumi turned out perfectly!

Wonderful! I'm still a novice cheese-maker but it definitely does the job and helps to form curds.
