FOOD SAFETY MATTERS
Milk kefir testing example; not a test of this kit.
A MOM'S REASON. OUR STANDARD SINCE 2002.
Cultures for Health was founded in 2002 by a single mom who wanted to feed her children the best food she could.
That care still shapes what we make. Food-safety testing is a meaningful investment, and one we keep making for the families who bring our cultures home.

FROM MILK TO SOMETHING YOU MADE.
Choose your cheese and follow its full recipe before you begin.
Gather the kit, milk, non-reactive pot and tools. Choose mozzarella or whole milk ricotta; avoid ultra-pasteurized or UHT milk and cream.
Both recipes use citric acid, but the methods differ. Mozzarella also uses vegetable rennet; the whole milk ricotta recipe does not. Follow the temperatures and timing in your chosen recipe.
Mozzarella curds are heated, stretched and cooled; ricotta is rested and drained in butter muslin. Follow the guide's finishing and storage instructions.

No. The mozzarella recipe uses rennet and citric acid. The whole milk ricotta recipe uses citric acid, not rennet. Follow the complete instructions for your chosen cheese.
The guide calls for cow or goat milk, whole or reduced-fat. Do not use ultra-pasteurized or UHT milk or cream.
The guide suggests planning about 2 hours 10 minutes for mozzarella and 4 hours 15 minutes for whole milk ricotta, including resting and draining.
Freeze the vegetable rennet tablets. Store the citric acid and cheese salt in a cool, dry place.
