Unhomogenized milk is preferable, but you can absolutely use pasteurized, homogenized milk as well. The only kind we never recommend is ultra-pasteurized. **Q: How long will the finished cheese last?** A: Your cheese will last 7–10 days in the fridge and 6–9 months in the freezer. Make sure to get some cheese salt (non-iodized salt) before freezing. It's a good idea to have cheese salt around anyway, as it enhances the flavor and helps it last longer. **Q: What should I do with the leftover whey?** A: Don't just throw it out! Whey can be used as cooking liquid for potatoes, rice, grits, pasta and grains; as a starter culture for fermenting vegetables; as a nutrient boost in smoothies or drinks; to make whey cheese; or added to compost. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable *by C***S on 23 March 2026* Worked as expected. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works fine *by A***I on 6 November 2025* Made cheese and came out great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice culture *by 3***5 on 14 April 2026* Good culture for my cheeses great that it has single uses and quality ingredients.
