Product Description What's the only thing better than cheese? Homemade cheese! Mesophilic means "medium-loving," in this case referring to the temperature at which milk needs to be kept during the cheesemaking process. Mesophilic cheeses require less heat than thermophilic cheeses—specifically, mesophilic cultures propagate best at temperatures up to 90ºF. Your tastiest new hobby Perfect for beginners and cheesemaking pros Included in the pouch is 4 packets of direct-set culture and 2 vegetable rennet tablets. With this, you can culture up to 10 gallons of milk into the cheese of your choice, or try out four different kinds of cheese! This is ideal for beginners, experimenters, or to give as a gift. All natural homemade cheese Healthier than store-bought Unlike store-bought cheese, especially the mass-produced kind, cheese you make yourself will be unprocessed and won't have artificial additives (such as colorings, stabilizers, and preservatives), since you pick all the ingredients yourself. Plus, it contains probiotics (good bacteria), which promote stronger gut health, enhancing digestion and helping you feel all-around great! Cheese is also a great source of calcium, protein, B vitamins, and many other nutrients.

Yield will vary depending on what cheese you're making, how long you strain the curds, what type of milk you use, etc. However, generally with 1 gallon of milk, you can expect about 1 lb. feta, 5 servings pepper jack, or 1⅓ lbs. cottage cheese. Do I need any special equipment? For most cheese, no—everything you need is probably already in your kitchen: a large stainless steel pot with lid, a non-aluminum mixing utensil, a thermometer, a cheesecloth (butter muslin or tight-weave towel can also work), a colander, and a bowl. What kind of milk should I use for cheesemaking? Cheese can be made using almost any type of animal milk: cow, goat, sheep—even mare or camel. Unhomogenized milk is preferable, but you can absolutely use pasteurized, homogenized milk as well. The only kind we never recommend is ultra-pasteurized. How long will the finished cheese last? Your cheese will last 7–10 days in the fridge and 6–9 months in the freezer. Make sure to get some cheese salt (non-iodized salt) before freezing. It's a good idea to have cheese salt around anyway, as it enhances the flavor and helps it last longer. What should I do with the leftover whey? Don't just throw it out! Whey can be used as cooking liquid for potatoes, rice, grits, pasta and grains; as a starter culture for fermenting vegetables; as a nutrient boost in smoothies or drinks; to make whey cheese; or added to compost.
