Ten cheeses, one box. The Signature Series makes ricotta, mascarpone, mozzarella, queso blanco, cottage cheese, paneer, burrata, halloumi, squeaky cheese curds and chevre, with recipes ordered from easiest to most advanced so your skills build as you go.
How it works: just add regular store-bought milk. The glass thermometer takes the guesswork out of heating, the moulds shape your cheeses, and the recipe book walks you through every step, including a no-microwave mozzarella method and proper grill-ready halloumi.
Every recipe is obsessively tested. We have been making cheese kits since 2011, with tens of thousands sold. The recipes work with normal supermarket milk and no specialist ingredients.

Frequently asked questions
Which cheeses can I make with this kit?
Ten in total: ricotta, mascarpone, mozzarella, queso blanco, cottage cheese, paneer, burrata, halloumi, cheese curds and chevre.
Can I really make halloumi at home?
Yes. Halloumi is a pressed cheese and sits at the advanced end of the recipe book, but the step-by-step method takes you there gradually. It grills and squeaks like the real thing because it is the real thing.
Do cheese making kits work without special tools?
This kit includes the specialist bits: a glass thermometer, cheese moulds, cheesecloth and measuring tools. Beyond the box you only need a large pan, a colander and regular supermarket milk.
What should I do if my cheese doesn't set?
It is almost always the milk (UHT milk does not set) or the temperature. Our Lab Notes help centre has a full diagnosis guide, and if it still will not work we will put it right under our guarantee.
Is this a good gift for a foodie?
It is our bestseller for exactly that. The box is designed for gifting, the recipes suit complete beginners, and it is suitable for vegetarians.
How is this different from the Starter Series?
The Signature Series adds five more cheeses including halloumi and paneer, plus a glass thermometer and cheese moulds in the box, so nothing extra is needed beyond milk and a pan.
