PUT THE BOX IN THE FREEZER RIGHT AWAY
by Ish (1 out of 5 stars)
January 11, 2019

There needs to be, in big and bold, an immediate alert to put the two live cultures (which are the most expensive parts of the whole box and the entire reason to get the kit in the first place) in the freezer or else the entire box is wasted. Not everyone knows this information and I came across the information by accident, after leaving it on the counter over night. Not that I care at this point because I'm returning it. They spend more time talking about the box than what is most important, the Mesophilic Culture and Calf Lipase. Also, as I write this I happened to also notice that the Renee needs refrigerated.

If you are getting the Ultimate box, the thermometer is more than 6 degrees off, so I suggest getting the cheaper box and buying a good thermometer. Like all cooking it seems, the devil is in the details and 6 degrees will kill your attempt at success.

The next thing is my bias but I can't follow the suggestions of anyone who recommends using a microwave for cheesemaking (or any real artisanal cooking). Couldn't take them seriously after that.

In conclusion, since the directions aren't worth the paper their printed on (microwave bias with a dash of drama), the cultures aren't cared for (or at least I wasn't informed to care for them properly) the thermometer doesn't work (not their fault but they included it and I wanted it specifically for cheese making so they are accountable), and the rest of the included materials you can buy at walmart for much much much cheaper.... long rant conclusion... just buy the Mesophilic Culture and Calk Lipase from somewhere else and YOUTUBE whatever cheese you want to make.

Excellent value!
by Kim (5 out of 5 stars)

This was the first product I had purchased from Standing Stone Farms. The quality and quantity of product was excellent and the price for the package deal was fantastic. (Especially after I priced each item separately.) I encourage anyone I talk to about making homemade cheese to start with this kit and build from there.

People who order should realize there are items in the kit marked "Store in Freezer." Don't know how important that is . . . my kit spent several weeks under a Christmas tree before it was opened and the statement noticed. Have not tried it yet, but seems to contain most of the things I need to try my hand at making cheese.

I ordered this as a present for my husband because he and his family are obsessed with cheese. For the price, this kit is a phenomenal value. You can make a huge variety of cheeses and butters. It even comes with two recipe pamphlets - one for a huge amount of different standard recipes and one that was included as their "favorite recipes".

Great gift for beginners!
by Babs (4 out of 5 stars)

I purchased this kit so that I could get just the basic cultures and some liquid rennet. I was a little disappointed in the " curd bag" which was just a piece of cloth. And the thermometer is not very good quality. I had to purchase another one for my cheese making.

On a positive note: the rennet and other cultures worked GREAT! Which was my purpose for buying this kit in the first place. I will restock my cultures as needed from this company. Very good products. And shipped quickly in a really nice box perfect for gift giving.

Perfect for anyone beginning thier cheese making journey.

Small package that packs a big punch
by J Sisk (5 out of 5 stars)
May 2, 2019

I was very surprised with the size of the package as a whole and then each component when I first received it. I was put at ease though after reading their flyer which quickly addresses the portion sizes an the fact that you use so little of each the items will last a long time.

When I made my first batch of mozzarella cheese I found they were right. This will all last me quite a while so am please with the purchase and feel it is a good deal for the price.

I have made mozzarella cheese twice now and am ready to branch out and try making different kinds from the recipes that are included.

I'd like to eventually get around to trying the other recipes
by Kneedecker (4 out of 5 stars)

We only ended up making one cheese from here. We tried mozzarella, and it came out hard and rubbery. There's not a lot of info about "troubleshooting" your cheese (if it's too ___, do ____) . I'd like to eventually get around to trying the other recipes.

Contents are good but the recipe book is bad.
by Brett (3 out of 5 stars)
April 8, 2017

The contents are good but don't follow the recipe book unless you know what you're doing. If you're truly a beginner, then get the instructions online as the book doesn't describe steps enough so that you do it right. In fact, you will most likely waste ingredients with discarding your final product if you follow this book.

Awesome Date Night/Day
by Emily (5 out of 5 stars)
January 14, 2019

Boyfriend and I really enjoyed making some of these cheese for a fun date day and them using them in our dinner. Some recipes take a lot longer (over 24hr), but there are some shorter ones that are also great. Make sure you have a clean sink/colendar or it'll get messy.
