GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CHEESEMAKING KIT
Did you know you can make many more cheeses with your basic mozzarella and ricotta cheesemaking kit for beginners? That's right, the same citric acid, rennet, salt, thermometer and cheesecloth that we include in our most popular DIY Cheese Kit can be used to make mascarpone, string cheese, paneer, burrata and other exciting cheeses!
Make More Cheeses
Like with baking, a few ingredients and simple methods can be changed just a bit so that you end up with different final products. You learn a lot along the process too. Here are some ways you can make your kit work for you.
Website Recipes
One option on our website is to browse our recipes. You will find a variety of cheeses that can be made using your same basic kit! For example, here is our Queso Blanco recipe. Just hover over the recipes tab in our site menu to see them all.
Digital Recipes
Another option is to use one of our digital illustrated recipes. Contact us to claim one of these as a free gift by joining our email list.
If you are a member of our Cheesecraft Club, you will receive gifts like these from time to time. Join the club in the pop up on this page.
Check out the digital mascarpone recipe on our Etsy shop to learn more about these illustrated recipes.
Cheesemaking Books
Yet another option is to use your kit along with our books, One Hour Cheese and Instant Pot Cheese. You may be asked to add fresh items like buttermilk, yogurt, and cream but otherwise, we still stick to the same basic kit supplies.
Become a Cheese Crafter!
So you see, there is lots of fun to be had with a few basic ingredients and all of these additional recipe resources.
Make that little powerhouse of a kit work for you and enjoy many more delicious cheeses beyond mozzarella and ricotta. Try all of these options and you will learn to tweak the methods. Perhaps even design your own custom cheeses!
If you already have a cheese kit or ingredients and just need the books, you can find them and choose your retailer on our publisher's website.
