Cheese Salt
Cheese Salt, must be large grained, with large faceted crysals, and an open granular structure. The grain size and structure
allows it to absorb more moisture than other forms of salt. "Cheese Salt" contains no iodine. Iodine will kill the lactic
bacteria in the aging process, and it is this lactic bacteria that is so important to the proper aging of your cheese. Cheese
salt is used to help in flavour production, preservation and brining your cheese.
Cheese Salt - 450 gram.
Just $2.50
Citric Acid
Citric Acid is used for making the 30 Minute Mozzarella and Ricotta cheeses. It
comes in an 450 gm. package and lasts indefinitly in a cool dry place.
You will need some cheese wax to cover your cheese for aging. The cheese wax will keep the cheese from drying out, and it looks good too.
Valerie has found it is best to dedicate a cheap saucepan to "waxing", and keeps her wax in the saucepan all the time, heating it till it melts as needed.
1Kg of wax will last for many cheeses. Simply dip one side of the cheese wheel into the wax, then rotate the cheese 180 degrees and dip the opposite side, turn and dip the
cheese again till all sides of the wheel are covered ... allow the wax to cool and set on the cheese before
laying down, and painting in the missing "hubs" of the wheel with a brush ... do not use a synthetic fibre brush, as
the temperature of the wax may melt the bristles.
1Kg pack of Red Cheese Wax
Just $15.95
A little more expensive than some sites, but remember our shipping is only $8.00.
Cheese Wax Brush
You can dip your cheese wheel into cheese wax to cover the edges, so far up, but will probably need a brush
to paint the centre, or hub of the wheel.
Valerie found out the hard way, that hot wax will melt the bristles of synthetic fibre
brushes ... so this one has natural fibre bristles ... and is what Valerie now uses.

Cloth for Cheese Making - 90cm x 90cm.
100% natural muslin. Excellent for all your cheese making needs.
For cheese making, one of the most important things is to have is a good cloth to drain the curds and whey.
You do not want to use just any cloth, as most have been dyed and/or exposed to various harmful chemicals. You must use a loose weave cloth, that has not been bleached or dyed, that is also strong enough to be washed and used again.
The butter muslin we have located for you is excellent for all your cheese making needs and can be used many times before it needs to be replaced.
