With this simple kit, chefs can handcraft fresh mozzarella at home in less than one hour. The kit includes a dairy thermometer, gloves, vegetable rennet, citric acid, and salt, as well as a detailed, illustrated instruction booklet that guides cheesemakers through the traditional steps of separating curd from whey, stretching the cheese, and forming it into bocconcini or logs. Also includes recipes for enhancing the creamy mozzarella with classic flavors like basil. The kit yields about 4 lbs. of cheese and requires no refrigeration (requires fresh milk, however), making it ideal for an under-tree gift or a shipment to foodies. 6" H x 3 1/2" Diam. (1/2 lb.)
