New England Cheesemaking Supply Company

We first heard from this company early last spring, but their fascinating product line would make perfect gifts for the cheese-obsessed. Why send someone a wheel of cheese when you can offer them the opportunity to learn to make their own? There are kits for making mozzarella (easy and delicious when we tried it), mascarpone, fromage blanc, and basic cheeses such as cheddar and Jack. They also offer equipment, molds, waxes, cultures, home pasteurizers, and instructional booklets on how to start a small-scale goat cheese production.
