I failed few times in the past to make a real Mascarpone cheese. Finally, using the Tartaric Acid I produced a real Italian grade Mascarpone to use in making my Tiramisu. Recommended!!!


This was my first time making cheese. The instructions on cheesemaking.com made me confident to go full-tilt. I made chevre from 3 gallons of goat milk and mascarpone from 1 gallon of store-bought homogenized whole cow milk with this Tartaric Acid. It was so easy, but I had a lot, so I looked for recipes. Then I used them to make the best cheese pie and mini-cheesecakes in muffin pans I've ever had. I even used some whey in the batter. I shared with friends and everybody raved about them. They also freeze well. I'm so happy that I will never throw out milk again and now my friends are giving me their out-dated milk to make more cheesecake. They are urging me to package and sell it. I feel like a successful homesteader now.

I used the tartaric acid to make mascarpone, then used the mascarpone cheese to make a tiramisu cake. It was absolutely delicious!
I used this to make Mascarpone and was very pleased with the results. I used my E81 Yogurt Maker instead of the Butter Muslin and it worked wonderfully and is so easy to clean.
