Cheese Making

Fresh cheese is one of those things that seems impossible until the first time you do it, and then you wonder why you ever bought ricotta in a tub. This is where we keep everything that goes into the pot: cultures, rennet, calcium chloride, cloth and the moulds that give the curd its shape. New to it? Start with one of our cheese making kits, which put the right culture, rennet and gear in one box.

If you are starting out, a kit does the thinking for you. The Italian Cheese Making Kit by Mad Millie is the usual first buy, and the Speciality Cheese Kit steps up from there. If you already know your way around a vat, buy the parts on their own. Rennet comes as Mad Millie Vegetarian Rennet 50 ml, as vegetarian rennet tablets, or as the Green Living Rennet Liquid 50 ml with a dropper cap. Cultures are sold by type, so Aromatic Mesophilic Fresh Cheese Culture for soft styles, or Cheese Culture #2 Mesophilic in five sachets when you are making regularly. For draining, choose between the 90 x 90 cm muslin cloth sheet, the cheese cloth stockinette net sleeve, and the Ferrari 7 cm mini ricotta mould strainer.

One tip from behind the counter: keep a bottle of Mad Millie Calcium Chloride 50 ml on the shelf. Shop milk is often the reason a curd sets soft, not your technique.

Come and talk it through at Laverton North or Epping, or browse cheese kits, cultures and ingredients, cheese moulds and cheese tools.
