1/2 gallon of half and half ( must be room temp, I heat it a tiny tiny amount to 72 degrees...Add 1 package of mesophilic starter. Stir up and down, not round and round..I use a lg slotted spoon..cover at room temp for 10-12 hrs. When set up well pour in a colander with good muslin..let drain for 4-5 hrs.. we like cheese salt in it to taste.. taste with a saltine cracker for flavor... Yup to die for. Refrigerate after draining thoroughly...

Haven't used this yet but can't wait. I am just getting started with cheese making but I love it.


The culture came quick in the mail and was super easy to use. I made and continue to make great tasting colby that everyone loves. Thank you New England Folks!
