Product Description

The Around The World in 20 Cheeses, Cheesemaking Kit makes 20 different cheeses for all around the world! The kit includes everything you need except the milk!

Many people don’t know how straightforward and satisfying it is to make their own cheese at home. It has become something of a lost art but now it really is possible for anyone to become a cheesemaker with our Around The World in 20 Cheeses, Cheesemaking Kit

All of Cheese Monkey’s kits have been designed to guide you through the process of making cheese. They are really simple to use with acclaimed, step-by-step instructions.

This Cheese Making Kit starts with some simple, quick and tasty cheeses (mozzarella, ricotta) and moves on to cheeses from all around the world that you may never have tasted before! The 20 different cheeses that anyone can make with this kit include…

• Mozzarella: a great one to start your cheesemaking journey with. It can be made and eaten fresh in under an hour. Start with four litres of milk and you’ll have mozzarella by the time your pizza oven has warmed up. Ever wondered what makes the perfect, melting-mozzarella for pizzas? When you make it yourself you can see how each stage in the process has an effect on the finished cheese.
• Mascarpone: perfect sweetened for Italian desserts or used to thicken risotto. It’s easy to make and so much cheaper when you do it yourself.
• Ricotta: when you make it yourself from fresh milk you can create sweet or savoury varieties of this low-fat, fresh-tasting cheese. We also include a recipe a traditional aged version know as “ricotta salata”. This is perfect in salads and can be crumbled or grated into any dish.
• Paneer: this Indian cheese is very quick to make, so homemade palak paneer is always an option for dinner
• Burrata: this is a great one for the cheesemaker because it isn’t often available to purchase. You make mozzarella in the usual way and then stuff a mozzarella skin with creamy, strands of curds. Definitely an interesting one to try!
• Brunost: a slightly obscure cheese from Denmark with caramel flavour
• Labneh: cheese balls from Syria that are eaten for breakfast with jam, traditionally stored and preserved in jars of olive oil.
• Cottage Cheese: just add chives to your fresh cottage cheese for an instant salad
• Queso Blanco: white, fresh curd cheese from Spain. Try eating it with honey!
• Cheshire Cheese: the recipe for a quick cheshire cheese makes a cheese that can be eaten straight away or left to mature
• Chhena: a curd cheese from Bangladesh that is used for making desserts.
• Sqeaky Grilling Cheese: the unique properties of this Greek Cheese mean you can fry or even barbecue it without it melting. Can you perfect the cheese that “squeaks”?
• Plus more….! Quark (fresh buttermilk cheese from Germany), Marbled Porter (great with a ploughmans’ lunch), Scottish Crowdie (pile on the raspberries for a summer pudding), Queso Fresco (traditional shepherds’ cheese from South America), Roule (rolled herb cheese from France)

We are always available to offer help and support if you need it when making your own cheese.
