Not sure which?

The three questions everyone asks

Quick, honest answers, so you can buy with confidence.

  • Milk warming in a pan

    Is it easy enough?

    Yes. Everything's in the box apart from the milk, the recipe book takes you step by step, and you'll make your first cheese in about an hour.

  • The Big Cheese Making Kit Ultimate Cheese Making Kit includes recipe book, cheese moulds, herbs, spices, sea salt, citric acid, thermometer, and rennet tablets.

    What else do I need?

    Just milk and a few kitchen basics: a big pan, a slotted spoon, a colander and a bowl. Everything else, from the thermometer to the recipe book, is in the box.
