INCLUDED IN DIY CHEESE KIT:

+ Instruction Booklet and Recipe Card (digital back-ups on my website just in case ;)

YOU WILL NEED:
Simply add milk and basic kitchen equipment like a pot, colander, spoon, measuring utensils.
Milk Note:
Common pasteurized store-bought milk works. If it has the cream on top, even better. Raw, farm-fresh milk is great too. Make sure store-bought milk is NOT labeled ultra-pasteurized, UHT, or ultra-heat pasteurized.

Follow the simple instructions and in one hour or less you will be eating and sharing homemade, all-natural mozzarella, ricotta or farmers' cheese! Prep with some bread and a hearty salad to make it a full meal like I do in my classes.

OPTIONAL FLAVORS:
Create signature cheeses and have lots of fun by adding fresh herbs, hot peppers and your favorite spices for unique cheeses not found in stores.

CHEESE YIELD: A batch weighs over 1 lb. and with 4 batches you'll have plenty of supplies to try different herbs, spices and even shapes! The reusable thermometer and cheesecloth will keep on giving and you can refill the other ingredients easily (rennet tablets in my shop).

NUTRITIONAL INFO: This cheese kit is gluten-free, vegetarian and keto. There is no dairy included in kit, you add the milk. Vegetarian rennet means that a mixed crowd can enjoy your cheese without concern about animal based enzymes.
