The Big Cheese Making Kit will exhibit its fabulous new products at Autumn Fair 2016, from its stand in Hall 5, M31.
The company gives a twist to the current craze for making and baking at home. Each classic kit allows you to make at least ten batches of one type of cheese such as ricotta, mozzarella, halloumi, soft goat’s cheese and Scottish crowdie.
The kits, designed for first-time cheese makers to use in the kitchen, contain simple instructions and require you to add only milk.
2015 saw the launch of The Ultimate Cheese Making Kit, while this year The Mediterranean Cheese Making Kit takes centre stage. It will make 20 batches of 5 different varieties of Mediterranean Cheeses. It even comes with a cheese mould and Mediterranean herbs.
Founder Ailsa Proverbs says: “People are always surprised you can make cheese at home so easily. They tend to assume it’s a technical job and requires lots of fancy equipment. With our recipes, tested in my kitchen, cheese making is easy and lots of fun. And of course, the best part is the eating!”
For her services to the food industry founder Ailsa recently received an MBE. Commenting on her award, Ailsa said “I am amazed to have received such a great honour. The purpose of the company is to demystify the cheese making process so that anyone can make fresh cheese easily at home and it caught on almost immediately among foodies and as a quality gift.” Indeed, with over 60,000 kits sold in the first 2 years it could be described as a quiet revolution in cheese making.
Ingredients for the kits are vegetarian, gluten free, sourced organically where possible and are designed to have the lowest possible impact on the environment, with no unnecessary packaging or products. There are even suggestions on what to do with your whey – the by-product of cheese making – so nothing need go to waste.
