Regular and Direct Set Starters, Starter Culture, Wax and Rennet
Regular and Direct Set Starters

More Info
Regular and Direct Set Starters, Starter Culture, Wax and Rennet
Only $6.95 each or any 2 for $13.30!

Direct Set Starters-Direct set starters are easier to use than any other method - need no incubation but can be used only once. Each packet contains 5 sealed envelopes, enough to make about 10-15 lbs of cheese.
Regular Set Starters-Regular starters come in single packs, require incubation but can be reused indefinitely.
Starters come with brief instructions, but no detailed recipes. See our Books section for "How-to" books and video.
Note: Starters must be kept in the freezer if storing them for more than a couple months.

"Made the tastiest cottage cheese we have ever had! And on the first try! The kids and grandparents raved and fought over the homemade lasagna we made with it."
-The Chambers Family
