How long does it take to make cheese?

It will vary depending on the type of cheese you choose to make, but in general, the cheesemaking process looks like:

Do I need any special equipment or other ingredients?

For mozzarella, no—you probably have everything you need in your kitchen already. If you want to make a harder aged cheese, like Parmesan, you'll need cheese salt and a cheese press. It's also a good idea to have lipase for several cheeses.

What kind of milk should I use for cheesemaking?

Cheese can be made using almost any type of animal milk: cow, goat, sheep—even mare or camel. Unhomogenized milk is preferable, but you can absolutely use pasteurized, homogenized milk as well. The only kind we never recommend is ultra-pasteurized.

How long will the finished cheese last?

Your cheese will last 7–10 days in the fridge and 6–9 months in the freezer. Make sure to get some cheese salt (non-iodized salt) before freezing. It's a good idea to have cheese salt around anyway, as it enhances the flavor and helps it last longer.

What should I do with the leftover whey?

Don't just throw it out! Whey can be used as cooking liquid for potatoes, rice, grits, pasta and grains; as a starter culture for fermenting vegetables; as a nutrient boost in smoothies or drinks; to make whey cheese; or added to compost.
