Home & Commercial cheesemaking equipment and supplies for the artisan and home cheesemaker.
We offer an excellent selection of home cheesemaking equipment and supplies suited to the home and artisan cheesemaker.
We like to innovate. We are aware of market trends. Many people increasingly want vegetarian and vegan alternatives to traditional milk products. Sowly but surely we will try to satisfy that demand. Check out what we have to offer but there will always be more to come….
We work closely with the Technical Teams at Bioprox France, Lactina Bulgaria and Sacco Italy who provide full Technical Advice and guidance on new product development.
Commercial clients are welcome but due to increased costs in general pre-ordering and a deposit is required.
The artisan craft of cheesemaking is rapidly growing in popularity. We all want fresh and nourishing food. It is our pleasure to help you with this process.
People who like growing their own vegetables, making their own bread or wine will find cheesemaking a very satisfying experience. Sharing your mozzarella, cheddar or brie with friends is very sociable.
To make a simple first cheese you will need culture, rennet and a cheesemaking recipe. Some people like to start by making a simple ricotta which you can make using vinegar, lemon juice or equivalent curdling agent. Other people like to challenge themselves with a camembert, cheddar or chèvre. What matters is that the choice suits you.
