What Makes It Uncommon

You don’t need to travel to Italy, or even your local Italian deli, for fresh, mouthwatering mozzarella or ricotta—you can whip up a batch right at home with this beginner-friendly DIY kit. Designed by a cheesemaker with 17 years of experience (who also teaches and wrote a book on the topic), the easy-to-follow instructions and video tutorials offer guidance through every step of the process for fledgling fromagers to make a batch of cheese in about an hour. With all the necessary tools included (plus gluten-free, vegetarian rennet), just add milk for homemade ricotta, mozzarella, or farmer’s cheese whenever a craving or charcuterie boards calls for it.

  • Each kit makes 4 batches of cheese for about 6 pounds total using store-bought, pasteurized milk.
  • Mozzarella and ricotta can be made in about an hour; farmer’s cheese takes about 20 minutes.
  • Shelf life: 1 year at room temperature.
  • Handmade in Oregon.

Claudia's love for homemade cheese came at a young age when she learned to make Paneer at the Indian restaurant where she worked in high school. She picked it back up in 2008, soon realized others could benefit from simple kits and has never looked back. She is always in the test kitchen rejecting recipe dogmas and breaking rules for the sake of no-nonsense deliciousness- she strives to do for aged cheeses what she has for fresh cheeses, which is make them virtually no-fail and fun to make! Her dream project is creating fun how-to videos which she hopes to make needlessly complicated by incorporating the look and feel of stop-motion animation, art-house films and music videos. Somewhere in there she will also travel the world to learn to make regional cheeses. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her partner Jeff and their curd-loving chihuahua, Lil' Mama.
