Excellent Cheese Making kit

This kit was fantastic for the first foray into cheesemaking. Adding herbs is definitely the way to go, and it’s so nice that you can customise cheese rather than the ones you buy in the store! I highly recommend this product.

Looks great but not used it yet

Bought as a gift but excellent service

Bought this as a gift for my son-in-law to be

Bought this as a gift for my son-in-law to be, as he's into traditional, Scottish artisanal stuff. Hoping he's going to make the Crowdie for their ceilidh wedding celebrations.

What a brilliant gift idea – your son-in-law-to-be sounds like a grate fit for the kit 😉
Crowdie for a ceilidh wedding would be perfect – we love the idea of proper Scottish cheese made for a proper Scottish celebration. Fingers crossed it goes down a treat, and congrats to the happy couple!

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.
