And to make it even simpler, we offer a number of options for incubation should you need a constant temperature (required with all yogurts). Making cultured foods in your own home has never been easier, more economical or so much fun!

Culturing Supplies

Thermometers, yogurt makers, cheese cloth bags, and extra jars can all be found here to make culturing foods a breeze.

This rennet is outstanding for making cottage cheese and soft cheeses such as gouda. It is imported from Germany, and will create consistent coagulation with very little or no side chain reactions. It is not animal based and considered the premium product for cheese making.

Kefir Culture Starter

These cultures make beautiful kefir. They are made by blending kefir grains with other milder cultures including Lactococcus lactis, Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus and kefir yeast. This blend of organisms makes delicious, smooth and creamy kefir. Each packet can be used to make a starter batch of 1 quart and from that initial batch many more generations can be made - up to 7 generations!

Set Milk

To make clobbered milk and other cultured milks such as buttermilk and sour cream, this is the culture you want. When combined with the Fromase Rennet you can make wonderful quark (sour curd cheese, also called curds and whey), or gouda cheese. These cultures can also be used on milk substitutes such as rice milk, coconut milk and almond milk.

Veggie Culture Starter

Cultured Vegetables can be so useful. Use them as a side dish with any main entrée, place them on vegetable salads instead of salad dressing, or just eat them as a snack when you are hungry or before bed! You will love cultured vegetables and the variety of creations you can make are limitless!

Yogurt Culture Starter

With several types of yogurt cultures to choose from this is the place to come for making yogurt. Some yogurt cultures will make a mild, thick yogurt and others a more traditional, more tart yogurt. Now you can choose exactly what you and your family needs!

Yogurt Makers

Since Yogurt requires a specific temperature for a specific length of time, yogurt making equipment is very helpful. In addition, most cultures require certain temperatures, possibly straining, etc. Therefore, having thermometers, cheese bags and other supplies can be very helpful.
