Our kit comes with a detailed recipe booklet demystifying  steps in the cheese making process with each kit making up to 30 pounds of cheeses! 

This cheese kit contains: 
        - 12 Page Recipe Booklet 
        - 1 Cheese Mold 
        - Vegetable Cheese Rennet 
        - Mesophilic Starter 
        - Thermophilic Starter 
        - Dairy Thermometer 
        - 1/2 oz. Calcium Chloride 
        - Reusable Cheesecloth 
        - Full Instructions    

*Note: You need to wax your hard cheeses in order to age them.  You can use any type of wax to do this but the red cheese wax we offer is pliable and reusable so it makes it very convenient and economical to use.  You need to apply weight (10 lbs) to the cheese when it is in the mold supplied in the kit.  You could make disks from wood or another material and put the weight on top of your home-made disks but when I make cheese I use food grade plastic disks that I had specially made for this application.  People kept asking me for them so I went ahead and had a quantity made and sell them on the web site.  For your convenience (and cost savings) we off the Hard Cheese Combo Kit had the Red Cheese Wax, 3 disk with graduated sizes and the Hard Cheese Kit ($49.95).

Acrylic Weight Disks - Set of 3 "food-safe" Acrylic disks sized to fit inside cheese mold to evenly distribute the weight needed to "press" the cheese curds into a solid block of cheese just before aging.  Although not "essential", these disks make applying the 10 or 20 pound weight onto the cheese when its in the cheese mold much easier and saves you the time of "trying to make up your own".  The 3 sizes provide good mold fits for the different quantities of cheese you will be making.

    Red Wax Aging Cheese Wax - 1 pound block of "Red" Cheese Wax that is especially made for coating cheeses as they age. It helps prevent unwanted mold growth while retaining moisture in the aging cheese. The wax is flexible and will not become brittle as will paraffin. Note: All wax orders shipped outside of the continental U.S. will be charged an extra shipping fee.
