Good to know

What milk do I need?

Most cheeses work with whole blue top milk. For the Cypriot style cheese, use unhomogenised 'Gold Top' milk, available in most supermarkets. The goat's cheese and Greek style cheese need goat's milk, the labneh and Greek style cheese use full-fat yoghurt, and the mascarpone uses double cream.

What do I need at home?

A large, deep stainless steel pan with a lid (not aluminium, non-stick or copper), a large slotted spoon, a long knife, a colander and a glass bowl. Rubber gloves help with mozzarella. A microwave is optional.

How long does each cheese take?

It depends on the cheese. Mozzarella and ricotta take about an hour, so your first cheese can be on the table the same afternoon. The others take from a few hours to a few days.

How long does the homemade cheese keep?

About 5 days in the fridge, depending on how much salt you add.
