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. **Q: What kind of milk should I use for cheesemaking?** A: 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. **Q: How long will the finished cheese last?** A: 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. **Q: What should I do with the leftover whey?** A: 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality *by 3***5 on 10 April 2026* I used this product ( culture) making a cheddar cheese and worked fantastic.
