There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
When making mozzarella, I belatedly discovered that my instant read thermometer is about 15 degrees low, which was pretty critical for success. However, even though my curds were very small, I just sort of forged ahead and...it worked! AFTERWARD, I went back and looked for videos/photos on what the curd is supposed to look like, which is how I discovered by thermometer was off-spec; so start with that, photos and videos, if you haven't made cheese before.
The only criticism I can think of is that the rennet is in a powdered form in little foil packets, and the instructions say to use a half a packet. Honestly, the amount is so small, that there isn't any way to tell what I half a packet IS without pouring it out, measuring it, and putting the rest back. lol. The labeling on the rennet pack says that it is good for much more milk than I was using, though, so a guestimate is probably fine.
I'm confident enough after using this kit that I went ahead and bought rennet and citric acid so I can keep making cheese. I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't be able to accurately transfer the instructions in the kit using the powdered rennet to liquid or tablet rennet, but it's a simple process, and it wasn't an issue.
Recommended if you want to experiment with fresh cheesemaking to see if it is for you.
The product itself is fine. It's A LOT of work. But my daughter had fun. Cheese was good. But it's just easier and cheaper to buy store bought.
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024
The product itself is fine. It's A LOT of work. But my daughter had fun. Cheese was good. But it's just easier and cheaper to buy store bought.
This kit had everything in one place--small amounts, food for several tries, but that's just what I needed to test the waters. The package noted that it also came with cheesecloth, which I'd initially been dismissive of because I already had cheesecloth--the sort sold in local supermarkets. But what came with the kit was much better, unbleached and much sturdier and useful for repeated use with just a rinse.
The kit sat in a cabinet for months until I was able to find non-homogenized milk. This was probably overkill, as you just need non-UHT milk, but from what I'd read elsewhere non-homogenized milk works better.
The instructions were clear and well laid out, and with little effort I had some excellent fresh mozzarella that I used that evening for pizza, so I finally had one with homemade crust, homemade sauce, and now homemade mozzarella.
