Cheese making doesn’t need to cost an arm and a leg
I have been really enjoying cheese making over the past 8 months. There is something almost magical about preserving milk into something that my family will enjoy for years to come. I have not had the best luck making soft cheeses but so far almost all of my aged cheeses have churned out!
I am hoping to get some of my favorite cheese making recipes up soon but none of them are original to me they are all adapted from other cheese recipes I found online.
One of my favorite things I have learned through this process is about clabber culture, it has been kind of life changing. Clabber is very similar to a sourdough starter and is made from just raw milk that has been aged for multiple generations. I am linking a free course down below and a video from MilkSlinger which explains it in depth.
I hope you find these tool helpful
These few simple tools are all you need to make it all work. Watch the video down below for all of the details.

My budget cheese making essentials:
This is the perfect mold for cheeses using more than 3 gallons of milk
These molds work for cheese batches smaller than 3 gallons of milk. If you are getting a herdshare or have goats/sheep this is the size you want.
I use Animal rennet but there is a plant based one as well. I don’t like using the rennet tabs because they don’t dissolve very well for me.
