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.

This Pinot Noir mother of vinegar is a thin film of slimy, gelatinous bacteria that encourages fermentation.
If you’ve bought a bottle of raw apple cider vinegar, you’ve probably seen a leftover mother floating in the bottom of the jar. This bacteria has the more scientific name of mycoderma aceti but calling it a mother is so much more poetic.
The magical thing about mothers is that during the fermentation process they give “birth” to other mothers that can be used in future batches of vinegar. People who regularly make their own vinegar can use new generations of one mother to make vinegar for decades.
Other than a mixture of wine, water and a mother, the only other supplies you’ll need are a 1-2 gallon vessel to ferment the vinegar and some cheesecloth. A ceramic crock works well because it keeps out damaging light, but a jar wrapped with cloth or paper to keep out the light could work, too. Covering the top of the vessel with cheesecloth keeps insects out, but lets air get in to feed the bacteria. Tucked away in a warm, dark place, the magical transformation into tasty red wine vinegar will begin. Months later, you’ll be rewarded and we think you’ll agree, it’s worth the wait.
