z. ORDER CHEESE MAKING SUPPLIES ONLINE

These items available for pickup from me, zip 63119.  Write and or phone.  Once we get in touch and I confirm, you can usually pick up your items  that same day for instant gratification. 

Remember, regular pasteurized milk from a supermarket, will NOT make cheese and it will NOT stretch for mozzarella.  The ONLY store brand in St. Louis which works for cheesemaking is Farmer's Creamery Milk available at Whole Foods, in the plastic wine-bottle shaped container.  Other brands are all pasteurized at too high a temperature.  I have tried them all.  Of course, raw milk works the best.

(For mail-order in priority mail flat rate box, arrange with me.  Or, order from other catalogs such as Hoegger Goat Supply, New England Cheesemaking Supply or Dairy Connection.)
