About This Product

Our Deluxe Mozzarella & Ricotta Kit is a great starter kit for making cheese or for any Mozzarella lover!

Includes everything one needs to make many batches of freshly made Mozzarella and Ricotta cheese.

Easy to follow recipes and instructions for:

  • 30 Minute Mozzarella 
  • Cultured Mozzarella (requires optional Thermophilic Culture)
  • Home Made Ricotta 

You supply the milk and warming kettle. All ingredients can be reordered on our site.

 

'Cultured Mozzarella' is where a Thermophilic Starter Culture is added to acidify the milk. This takes longer, but also adds flavor and texture!   

If you'd like to try making both types; order the Thermophile Culture as an option; we include Recipes for both!

You'll also likely want to order the optional Cheese Making Gloves; these food grade gloves help protect your hands while you work  

with Mozzarella curds in hot water.

Gloves are an option on the site with this kit, and we do include recipes for making both cultured and non-cultured (Citric Acid) Mozzarella. Feel free to touch base if you need some direction or info! Dan@thecheesemaker.com

    Deluxe Mozzarella Kit

    Posted by Leah on 7th Feb 2021

    I always wanted to try making homemade mozzarella and this kit made it so easy. There’s enough of everything you need to make multiple batches, which is great because now that I’ve tried it once, I can’t wait do it again!! I am grateful for other reviews, and as suggested, I watched a few videos first and then made my attempt. If it’s your first time, it’s not a bad idea. Great product and great customer service! ======================= Thanks Leah! Enjoy !!

    First Time was a success!

    Posted by Nora Sullivan on 8th Jan 2020

    My first time making cheese. The kit was all I needed to get started. The instructions were easy to follow and the cheese turned out nice, but I may need to make it a few more times to get really good at it.

    Great Gift

    Posted by Jacqueline Makoujy on 6th Jan 2020

    I personally can't review this product because it was given as a gift but I can say the recipient was very excited and couldn't wait to try making homemade cheese! I am thinking I will get my own kit to try it out for myself

    first try

    Posted by Cecile Manny on 4th Sep 2017

    Not to be discouraging but the first try for me did not set up well. Most likely the whole milk I used was not the best to use for mozzarella. Since then, I have found a source for whole non-homogenized organic milk. I am not able to buy non pasteurized milk locally. Some parts of the instructions were not clear so watching a you tube video helped. I did like the kit.

    Better instructions

    Posted by Dee on 5th Jan 2017

    As a first time mozzarella maker, I had a hard time making out the directions provide. I had to go on the net to clarify the times and amounts. If you could simplify your process and eliminate the extraneous copy, it would help. My first batch of cheese tastes great, however the texture of the final product was a bit gritty. I will that my next batch will be much better.

    Cheese Kit

    This is the way to go if you are just starting to make cheese. I have been doing it for a year but found this kit cost less than buying individual items.
