Product Description

IT'S ALWAYS BETTER WHEN YOU MAKE IT YOURSELF
We offer high-quality cheese making kits, supplies and seasonings from our farm to your kitchen!
CHEESE KITS...
Standing Stone Farms Dairy Cheese Kits are unlike other cheese kits that are mass-produced and sold as Mozzarella Kits or Cheddar Kits or Chevre Kits. We do not offer a multitude of kits for different types of cheeses, as most cheese made at home uses the same 1 - 5 ingredients. When you buy a Standing Stone Farms Cheese Making Kit, you’re going to receive a box containing everything you need to turn your store-bought or farm fresh milk into several different kinds of cheeses at home adding to your cheese making experience. Our kits have come a long way over the years and we strive to keep your shopping experience as easy, affordable, and simple as possible. Each Standing Stone Farms kit offers many different recipes and the ability to make more cheese making options within one kit and of course, more cheese!
INGREDIENTS and SEASONINGS...
Standing Stone Farms provides essential cheese making ingredients that are always fresh and of the highest possible quality. The secret to making cheese lies in some special ingredients that you can find right here and have delivered straight to your kitchen. By buying with us, you can be sure that all your cheese making ingredients are the freshest, highest quality around with hand-packed, non-GMO ingredients that are commonly used in artisan creameries around the world. You can also choose from our signature preservative free, non-GMO custom spice blends to make your cheese even more flavorful.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023This kit is great! We hosted a cheese making party and bought several of these for my friends and I to use. The instructions are clear and this kit has almost everything you need to make Mozzarella or Burrata. The only thing you need to buy is milk (and a good mixer). Who knew it was so easy to make cheese!?! My nieces are getting this kit for Christmas.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2025We belong to a dinner club and the theme was pizza night. I decided to make mozzarella (for the first time) and this kit made it happen. The cheese was so good! It was harder than I thought it would be, so I grated it, which worked out perfectly. I'm going to do a little research and see if there is something I could have done differently to make it softer. The flavor was great though, so if that's how it's going to be, I'm happy with it and will make it again! I used cream top milk from Whole Foods.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2019I purchased this kit because I really wanted to try my hand at making cheese. My husband loves cheese and most of the cheeses that we use day in and day out are these types of cheeses. I had only made yogurt cheese or farmers cheese with instructions off the Internet. I still felt timid about trying the kit, but had it in my heart to make lasagne. Garden was finishing so I put together a rich Italian sausage/beef sauce. Which I put in the freezer to hold until I got confidence up to make the Ricotta and the Mozzarella. The day arrived, I made the Ricotta first following the instructions provided. I at first did not think that I had succeeded. I did, it turned out beautifully. On to the Mozzarellas. Again I felt as though I was floundering but I kept going back to the directions and checking my steps. Mozzarella came out beautifully too. Husband was impressed and lasagne was delicious with leftovers saved for later. Kit itself is very basic, thought of giving it as a gift too.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2020This was my first time ever attempting to make homemade cheese. I figured since it is touted for the beginner, I might stand a chance... 🤷♀️😂
This kit comes with everything you need except milk or cream. So far I’ve only made the super fast mozzarella but I found that the directions were easy to follow. I still am in disbelief that the end result actually tastes like mozzarella. 😊👍
I have tons of supplies leftover to make more cheese. Also, do not be worried when the mozzarella calls for a full gallon of milk. It cools down and turns into a very reasonable amount of cheese.
I highly suggest this kit for anyone even timidly interested in dabbling in cheese making for themselves. Also, it would be a lovely gift!

- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2018This is a good purchase as a prime member. Make ricotta cheese. It takes about a good portion of the evening to make. To speed it up I keep the stainless steel lid held with one hand to keep the heat in & stir with the other hand with a long cheese curd knife (that’s not the proper name. Stiring time takes about 1.20 mins to reach 180 degree. I add the citric acid at this point although it’s recommended to do as the first step because it works better for me. With ultra pasteurized milk I always add 2tsp of Citric acid because I can’t get it to curd. Do all of this While sitting on a tall stool because it does take time to make any cheese. Have a very large Wolfgang puck stainless pot to catch the whey when completed. Took me a little over 2h. from start to finish ( clean up time)
- Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2020We have used multiple recipes from this box and tried others from the internet. We have also tried with multiple types of milk and the milk never seems to fully curdle. It left us with super soft curds every single time. After investigating what the problem could possibly be, we discovered that it was likely the rennet that came with the pack. We think the rennet must have been old or something. After purchasing a different rennet, our cheese making improved 100 fold. All of the other materials in the kit work perfectly!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2017Just received this and already made a batch of fresh mozzarella, then a batch of ricotta from the whey, and I will be using the leftover whey to make bread today. Great beginner set and the instructions are very helpful. The packaging is lovely and would make a great gift. For more advanced cheesemaking you may need other ingredients such as coloring and culture but this is a great beginning kit and I will probably order other ingredients from the seller.
I think it's a good value because to order all the components separately you might spend a lot more, and then if you gave up you would have a lot of wasted product. With this kit, you can try it out before you invest in a lot of stuff
