Mozzarella is easy to make, only about an hour from start to eat. I have two kits in stock, the Ricki's kit (Mozzarella and Ricotta kit), like Julie mentioned and a Mad Millie kit (Beginners Italian Cheesees kit), which you can also make some other cheeses besides Mozzarella and Ricotta. The Ricki kit is just an ingredient kit and will make up to 30 1 lb batches, the Millie kit comes with a Ricotta basket, thermometer and some other equipment and makes 15 21oz (600gm) mozzarella batches or 20 batches of other cheeses.
These can be seen on our web site under 'cheese ingredients'.
I have some experience with the process of culturing milk and recommend this resource http://schmidling.com/making.htm
Essentially it is just culturing milk. Making your own yogurt is very similar to this, try doing that first and see if you like it. The link above recommends trying to make cottage cheese first.
Anything more complicated and you'll need to do straining, which means you'll need a colander and cheesecloth (if you'll allow me to shamelessly promote myself )
Thanks cheesewine! I will also check out your products!
ffemt, get the Rikki kit for mozzerella, it is so easy and you are eating the mozza within a few weeks. The kit gives you all the chemicals you need to make the cheese, most of your equipment will be in your home except for the cheese press.
Where do you store the cheese that needs to mature? I dont have a basement.
I recieved information from Doug about this. So Im looking into wine coolers as an option.
