Perfect for the person who has "everything"!
Some people just don't need more "stuff" as is the case with the 82 year-old person I purchased this for. I love gifting experiences and this one was perfect for the recipient. He's Italian and will be doing this with a life long friend - avperfect way to spend quality time together. Instructors include all the items you need to purchase in addition to the kit so the recipient will need to be prepared for the class.

Would purchase again
I purchased this as a gift for friends as a way to give them something that is both "tangable" but also an "experience to do together." There are multiple options of cheese to make and the kit was easy to understand. Glad that I purchased it.

Would buy again as a gift.
Great for someone who wants to try their hand at cheese making. Everything you need! I feel confident to keep going and trying other cheeses as well. Not a big fan of the dropper because you can barely read the measurements

A great gift for Father's Day.
I bought this for my father-in-law. He was absolutely delighted. It is just his kind of thing. He loves to cook and loves Italian food. The reviews are fantastic so I know he will enjoy this gift thoroughly. It is obviously a quality kit and he loves learning about culinary arts.

I will continue to buy this product again and again.
It's nice to have the kit in the home so, you can whip something up without having to go to the store. Homemade and fresh in my opinion is best. Even better when you find a product you like and tastes great

The only thing I made was a mess
I have made a lot of things over the years, and all I made with this cheese making kit was a colossal mess. All I have to show for my 2 hours of work is a stack of dishes drying in the sink rack. It's ironic that the brand is called "Mad Millie," and the only one mad is me. I tried making the mozzarella cheese, everything was going fine until the 7th or 8th step. The directions don't work beyond this point. The directions say that the water should be 158 degrees. I had it at 158 degrees, and that temperature was not hot enough for the curd to melt and the cheese to stretch. It needed to be 180+ degrees. The directions suggest wearing rubber gloves. I got my hands burned through the gloves, and the heat was so bad that three of my false nails actually came off. The directions also say that you should prepare a salt solution to soak the finished cheese in, but it's not clear whether you should use the artisan salt that came with the kit or if you should use your own salt. The salt measurement given in the instructions is in grams or ounces, not in cups or tablespoons. Would be nice if they also used the imperial system in addition to metrics. I had to calculate a few times on my phone what the correct measurement would be; I determined that the required 250 grams was 1 cup of salt, which would be more than half the bag included in the kit. The kit says that includes enough items to make 10 batches of cheese, but if more than half the bag is used in 1 batch, I'm left to think that you should use your own salt and the bag of artisan salt included can be added separately to enhance taste. My cheese fell apart, as did my patience. I threw everything away and I'll never use this stuff again. I think that Mad Millie should refund me for the milk I wasted in this awful endeavor. Worst experience ever!!

Can plant based milk alternatives be used
Verified reply from Itamar
We do not recommend using alternative milks for this kit, as they may not yield the same results as whole milk or cream.

Can someone that is lactose intolerant use a milk like Lactaid to make the Italian Cheese Kit??
Verified reply from Allison
These recipes require full fat milk as well as cream. Lactose free milk would not be recommended. The process of cheese making is based on bacterial cultures converting the lactose in milk to lactic acid.

Does it need unpasturized or raw milk to make this? Can not get raw or unpasterized milk in my state.
Verified reply from Melody
The recipes to make the cheese require full fat milk as well as cream. You can use pasteurized milk.

If the kit only makes Mozzarella, Ricotta, Mascarpone or Ricotta Salata, why does the description say it makes "10 delectable Italian cheeses"?
Verified reply from Allison
