## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does it take to make cheese?**
A: It will vary depending on the type of cheese you choose to make, but in general, the cheesemaking process looks like:

**Q: Do I need any special equipment or other ingredients?**
A: For mozzarella, no—you probably have everything you need in your kitchen already. 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.

New to cheese making and this starter culture did an excellent job for my Swiss cheese.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is fun to try for me!
*by L***X on February 21, 2026*

I have not made any cheese with this culture yet. I did make Gouda with the Mesophilic culture, which is ready to be sealed. It is easy to use and make sure that you follow the temps to a tee! I attempted to make mozzarella and I think that I had my milk too warm and it would not stretch.
