United StatesAt New England Cheese Co. everyone treat you with so much care are also very helpful especially if you have never had made cheese
United StatesI started out with the little bottle and have quickly graduated to the pint sized. The CC performs its function well and I will buy it again when I am out.
United StatesI’m new to cheesemaking, I use store milk. The Calcium Chloride seems to make a much firmer curd than when I don’t use it! Works good!
United StatesI used my calcium chloride for the 1st time when making cheese curds (using the New England Cheese Making recipe for Cheese Curds- the basic version). My curds set with a perfect squeakie texture. I added a sprinkle of fresh chives and they were a big hit with family and friends!
United StatesWorks great - as stated and for a great price!! I use it regularly in my cheese making and brining!
