The short version of making your own cheese. Urban Cheesecraft calls this the starting point for beginners, kids and busy families, because ricotta and farmers cheese are quick and, in the maker's own words, fail proof. The box holds instructions, fine mesh unbleached 100% cotton cheesecloth, gluten free non-GMO citric acid and non-iodized fine flake cheese salt, enough for four batches.
Add milk and a pot, a colander, a spoon and measuring utensils, and thirty minutes later there is cheese. Farmers cheese crumbles over tacos, salads and chili, and the maker suggests thinking of it as a mild feta or queso fresco. Ricotta goes into dips, pancakes, ricotta toast, lasagna and cheesecake. A batch weighs 10 to 12 ounces. Gluten free and vegetarian, keeps two years in a cool dry pantry with no refrigeration, and unlimited email support comes with it.
Ready for mozzarella? The full Mozzarella, Ricotta and Farmers' Cheese Making Kit, $32.49 is this box plus a metal probe thermometer and the rennet that sets milk into a curd you can stretch.
