What Makes us different than other Cheese Kit Companies? All of our kits include Liquid Rennet which is known to be the very best for cheese making. Liquid rennet offers a much more consistent and better quality cheese in both flavor and structure than tablet rennet.

We have been providing home cheese makers with kits, instructions and ingredients since 2006 and it’s ALL WE DO! Our kits will never by the flashiest but they will always offer the highest quality ingredients, sourced in the USA and India and we work hard to maintain a green footprint whenever possible.

My first order got lost in the mail and the company replaced it. AWESOME kit. Has everything you need to make cheese, including instructions. IF you are expecting large amounts of ingredients, you will be disappointed because you use very little of everything. What they sent is more than enough to make your cheese. IF you want to go pro and make "dump-loads" then invest in the ingredients to make huge batches. What is in the kit is perfect for home use and enjoyment. SO ENJOY.

I gifted this to my spouse as a stocking stuffer, then proceeded to purloin it for myself. Standing Stone Farms proprietor and master cheesemaker Paula Butler has managed to put everything you need -- and I mean "everything" -- into one small box. Plus, she has produced a companion video and recipe collection that is a must-have companion to this kit, especially if you are new to cheesemaking.Many people avoid cheesemaking as a hobby because it is shrouded in mystery and misconception. Paula shows you how easy it is to get started with some of your favorite soft cheeses, then holds your hands as you step into more challenging recipes, such as cheddar. With a little practice and attention to detail, the skills needed are well within the capabilities of the average home cook. Best of all, Paula eschews the idea of spending money on specialized equipment. She shows you how to do it all with common kitchen implements. It's cheesemaking the way it's been done for thousands of years, and it doesn't require hours in the kitchen and a biological laboratory full of cultures and special implements. Just your head, your hands, and your heart.Like I said, the companion video is a must. (Just search for this product and put "DVD" at the end, and it should come up.) My friends are already talking about getting "gift" cheeses when I'm really on the go with this thing. Who doesn't love cheese? As it turns out, Monty Python was right: Blessed are the cheesemakers! Amen.

I purchased this kit so that I could get just the basic cultures and some liquid rennet. I was a little disappointed in the " curd bag" which was just a piece of cloth. And the thermometer is not very good quality. I had to purchase another one for my cheese making.On a positive note: the rennet and other cultures worked GREAT! Which was my purpose for buying this kit in the first place. I will restock my cultures as needed from this company. Very good products. And shipped quickly in a really nice box perfect for gift giving.Perfect for anyone beginning thier cheese making journey.

As we were Sheltering-at-home for the Covid-19, we were looking for new, fun projects to occupy ourselves. Making our own cheese has been on our "We really should try this" list for a while, so I ordered this kit. Making our first batch of mozzarella was really exciting! Ricotta is quite easy and we are looking forward to advancing to Monterey Jack and cheddar. The kit has some of the essentials for starting cheese cultures, but read the description and especially the items shown as "people often buy these together" suggestions. You may have everything you need or you may need to acquire them. The cost of the kit is really high for the contents. The booklet is helpful and the youtube presentation is of value. It's helpful to have many of the things needed to get started on cheese making together in one package, but a little research would allow you to buy the ingredients yourself for less money. Combined with the equipment required and some of the right type of milk, this would be a really fun gift.

My partner is into cooking, and I am into making homemade pizza. So we decided to try making our own fresh mozzarella cheese. We ordered this kit and it has everything needed except the milk, of course and the instructions were easy to follow. If you are using this kit, I will say several minutes go by when you think it’s not working, it’s not working, it’s not working, and then, like a magic trick, it instantly solidifies in the mozzarella cheese. And extremely tasty cheese at that.

This was an alright cheese making kit. The variety of items found inside were all helpful with the cheese making process. My wife and I found the recipe book to be poorly written with incomplete instructions, so we ended up using other sources for the recipes. Another issue my wife had with this product is that two of the items require refrigeration, (rennet and Lipase) and the item was shipped without any cooler packs. There are also no expiration dates on any of the items, so its impossible to tell how old the rennet is. If we were less experience cheese makers these would have been major issues with making good cheese. As it stands this is just an alright box, good for a some what experienced cheese maker, beginners should be aware they may have to seek recipes elsewhere.

I have read other reviews saying there isn’t much in the pack but you really only use the tiniest amount of the ingredients each use. - I have found it to be a great way to dive in to cheese making with just the right amount of ingredients and directions to get you going.

missing 6 items. most items need either refrigerated or frozen - box took 7 weeks to arrive. Probably in a warm building most of the 7 weeks so basically all garbage now.
