DESCRIPTION

Scottish Crowdie Kit – Discover Scotland’s Oldest Cheese!

Unlock the magic of Scotland’s ancient cheese with our beautifully designed Scottish Crowdie Cheese Making Kit. Simple, fun, and perfect for foodies, this kit makes an unforgettable gift for anyone who loves unique, homemade treats!

Step Back in Time to Viking and Pictish Days!

Scottish Crowdie is said to be Scotland’s oldest cheese, dating back to the days of the Vikings and Picts. Every crofter in the Highlands made this rustic cheese, warming fresh milk by the fire until it naturally soured and curdled. Thistle was even used as rennet back then—but don’t worry, our method is much more user-friendly!

A Ceilidh-Ready Cheese

Traditionally eaten on oatcakes before a Ceilidh, Crowdie was believed to ward off the effects of whisky drinking! With our kit, you can recreate this beloved Scottish cheese at home and add a touch of history to your next gathering.

Smooth or Crumbly? You Decide!

This kit comes with recipes for both a smooth, creamy version and a firmer, crumbly style of Crowdie, giving you endless possibilities for sweet and savory dishes. Whether you enjoy it on crackers, in recipes, or as a snack, Scottish Crowdie is an incredibly versatile cheese!

12 Batches of Deliciousness!

With enough ingredients to make 12 generous batches (each around 900g), you’ll be stocked with Crowdie for quite some time. And since this kit lasts over a year, you can take your time, savoring the joy of making fresh cheese whenever you like.

A fun and rewarding kit

What a fantastic gift idea for a cheese lover.I must admit to feeling a little daunted when I first received the kit but the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I had never even heard of Crowdie cheese before and I call myself a cheese lover!This box makes 12 batches of cheese and you just need to add milk. It needs a lot of milk as one 2lb batch requires 8 pints of milk and that’s the smallest batch you can make.I would definitely recommend this kit; it’s really fun and rewarding.

Easy to follow instructions - just add milk

This kit contains everything you need to try making some cheese - all you need to add is the milk. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and the end result is surprisingly tasty

A good cheesey gift

This is a great present for any cheese lovers! Lots of different variations and clear instructions

Make Your Own Crowdie Cheese

Got this as gift for our cheese loving Uncle and he will love experimenting with this at Christmas. It makes 12 rounds of soft cream style cheese which can then be flavoured as you like. A fun gift with all you need, except milk, to get going.

Soft cream cheese

This is an usual present for someone interested in food and cheesemaking. The kit allows 12 sets of cheese to be produced. The only additional ingredient that's needed is milk and some basic kitchen implements. You won't be creating cave aged cheddar through, which positively means that the cheese creation process is short. Less positively, the cheese produced is a white cream cheese to which flavours can be added. It's OK but not brilliant.Overall though a good product. Four stars.
