Where to Buy Cheesemaking Ingredients in Ohio + Recommended Books for Beginners

Culture and Rennet

We are often asked if we sell cheesemaking ingredients and now we can say yes! We carry both cultures and liquid rennet in our shop.

I remember those early days when I was making cheese in our kitchen and trying to track down ingredients. These are not items you can pick up at your local grocery store, and while the ice-cream rennet tablets on the self sound good, they just don't work as well as liquid rennet.

Our well-worn favorite book, Home Cheese Making by Ricki Carroll, is a true classic. All the recipes are scaled for home kitchens. I highly recommend it. You can find it here: Home Cheesemaking on Amazon.

Another great option is One-Hour Cheese by Claudia Lucero and is fantastic for beginners. In one hour you can start with a gallon of milk and have yummy cheese to enjoy. Grab a copy here: One-Hour Cheese on Amazon.

So if you have been wanting to try your hand at cheesemaking, stop by and pick up what you need. And starting in January, we will be offering hands-on classes to help you learn the craft and build your confidence in the kitchen. More information on the upcoming classes will be available soon.
