The May Giveaway: Ricki Carroll’s Cheesemaking Kit

BY Kevin Lee Jacobs | 533 Comments

Last updated on September 12th, 2012

EACH TIME I’VE OFFERED Ricki Carroll’s fabulous mozzarella/ricotta cheesemaking kit in a random drawing, the response has been overwhelming. Consequently I’ve ordered another kit for this month’s giveaway. Who’d like a chance to win it?

It was Ricki Carroll who introduced me to the pleasures of homemade cheese. Her kit contains enough vegetable rennet and non-gmo citric acid to make 30 batches of mozzarella. Also included is a thermometer and a large piece of high-quality butter muslin. I use butter muslin for straining a number of cheeses, including the Greek-style yogurt I make almost every week.

For a chance to win the kit, do these two simple things:

1. Subscribe — if you haven’t already — to my weekly email newsletter.

2. In the comments field below, tell me which cheese you love the most. Or, just say “hello.”

I’d be ever so grateful if you clicked the “like” button, too.

The drawing expires on Friday, May 18, 2012, at 11:59PM. As always, I’ll use the little number-gadget at Random. org to select a winner. The winner will be notified by email.

Don’t miss anything at A Garden for the House…sign up for Kevin’s weekly newsletter.

    Kathy says

    I love asiago 🙂 We would love to make a gouda, but I think mozz and chevre are all we can handle right now 🙂

    I just subscribed, and I would love to be entered in the drawing.

    Thank you for another giveaway. I love Swiss and would love to learn to make Mozzarella. I’ve made soft vinegar cheese with herbs from my goat milk, but would love to make more cheeses!

    Susan says

    LOL on naming a favorite cheese. But the only one in my fridge at the moment is Fourme d’Ambert (& it’s about to be part of lunch:). I follow on FB & receive your emails. Thank you so much for the chance! xo

    Kacy says

    I’m a cheese-a-holic and lovin’ it! I love nearly all kinds of cheese, but use mozzarella and asiago the most. Ricotta makes a great breakfast mixed with various fruits or other goodies.

    Thanks for your great column, full of useful ideas. I look forward to it each week.

    Hi, Kevin!

    I love mozzarella cheese the most, the fresh one, of course.
    My first taste of it was at a Greek house, with tomato slices and basil, drizzled with olive oil.
    Rather addicting.

    Thanks for your newsletter! I learn a lot.

    I subscribe to your newsletter and follow you on FB and Twitter.

    When my grandson once asked me why Emmenthal was my favorite cheese, I answered, “Because it’s ‘Swiss-ier’ than Swiss!” He thought that was hilarious!

    Corri says

    I’m a crafty person and I’d LOVE to try my hand at making cheese! Goat cheese is my absolute favorite, though I love most cheeses. 🙂

    Mmmm Mozzarella! I think Mozzarella may be my favorite. I also like Chevre goat cheese.

    My favorite cheese is mozzarella 🙂 Thank you for a chance to win Ricki Carroll’s fabulous mozzarella/ricotta cheesemaking kit!

    Brandon says

    The fresh mozz would go awesome with the tomatoes, rosemary, and basil from my garden. Throw in some cracked pepper and some balsamic vinegar and I’ll be set! Good luck to everyone…and me, but mostly me. 😉

    Donna Gagnon says

    I am a current subscriber to your newsletter! I love it!! Thanks for providing such awesome information 🙂 I love both Ricotta and Mozzarella..They are both fabulous on Pizza..I’ve never had homemade before.

  22. 22

    Catherine says

    I would have difficulty deciding which cheese I would prefer. Both are perfect for our spring and summer produce! Goat cheeses are of interest to me as well. I am on the path of preparing nutritious foods for delivery and am fermenting vegetables, making yogurt and making cheeses is a natural next step. I want to make everything by hand! What a wonderful way to show love!

  23. 23

    Caroline D says

    I love it! I was just talking to my husband about making Mozzarella and him giving me a kit to get started. We live in a rural area and good cheese is hard to find.
    I LOVE YOUR WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTER.

  24. 24

    cindy says

    Super love your website! Already a subscriber and would love to make my own cheese..we love to do yogurt now, so that would be another fun yummy for sure! Yippie!

    Sean OBrien says

    I just discovered your website a couple of months ago and joined your mailing list the other day. We just moved to a fixer-up after 20 years of apartment life so I am really new to gardening, but really excited. Your site has been so helpful and I love the recipes.

    Picking one favorite cheese is hard! I love them all. I never thought of making it on my own so I think mozzarella sounds like a great way to start learning how to make cheese.

  26. 26

    Catherine says

    A friend served me fresh homemade Ricotta on a homemade baguette, topped with avocado, drizzled with local honey and red pepper flakes…Fabulous!

    Judith Ann from Cape Cod says

    I’m first-generation Italian, so of course I have to say Parmisano-Reggiano, the king of cheeses!

    I remember my Italian nonna making scarmozza, a regional type of mozzarella, and I would love nothing more than to make my own mozzarella to go with fresh tomatoes this summer.
    Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful giveaway, but if I don’t win, I’ll still be looking into getting this kit. Oh, and I am a loyal subscriber!

    I am a current subscriber and look forward to and truly enjoy the advice in your newsletter.
    My mother used to make her own cheese from the cow she milked every day. She would use this cheese in her homemade strudels. A true art. I’d like to follow in the tradition. Shame I never really paid attention when my mother was alive. 🙁

  61. 61

    Jeri says

    I think I’d have to chose low fat ricotta, I’ve learned to make some healthier desserts with it. Particularly good is ricotta cheese beaten with a little skim milk to make it smooth and creamy then add almond flavoring and it make a great dip for strawberries. (Better than sour cream!

    I love mozzarella cheese! So does my family. I would love to have the ability to make it at home.

    Karen says

    I’m happy to say I found a cheese from my childhood. I remember my dad always stopping at a store in Pinconning, MI when we were in that part of the state. He would stock up on sharp Pinconning cheese. I started thinking about it a few months ago and the next time I was in a big Meijer store….there it was in their cheese cooler. Yes, I stocked up but I’m down to my last piece. Time to go back to the big store. 🙂 Thanks for offering this gift. I am already signed up to receive your newsletter which I very much enjoy. I would really like to make my own mozzarella.

    Mike Hylton (Sarge) says

    very informative article about the ticks! I hate those things! My wife and I get some on us every year, but take the same precautions that you do. Always check between your toes. My mom got one there and she got real sick before it was discovered! By the way, I do love cheese and could sure use a kit! Thanks for your great weekly emails!

  77. 77

    Cindy says

    So hard to single out a single cheese, because I love them all, but I can’t abide Kraft singles. 🙂

  93. 93

    Judy says

    I enjoy most cheeses, but I’m not wild about the veined ones like blue cheese. I guess my current fave is d’Affinois, a semi soft, Brie-like cheese. I also enjoy all the good info in your newsletter – gardening and food – what more could one want!!!!

    I thoroughly enjoy your blog as I am passionate about food, gardening and home decor. Anyway, I was lucky enough to live and work in Rome, Italy for 3 years and not only learned about the wonderful cuisine of that area of Italy, but loved living “La Dolce Vita” as well. I have never attempted cheese making, but that would seem like a perfect next process in my culinary adventures!

    Brandy says

    I don’t think I have met a cheese yet that I haven’t liked. I guess it all

  144. 144

    Pat F says

    I love all cheese, so it would be hard to say which is my favorite. Maybe I am non-discriminating.haha

    I love this newsletter and read it as soon as it comes out. I get such great tips and will be making your veggie bean burger this week. I love cooking and gardening. I have a small garden in my backyard which include veggies, herbs and flowers. I usually grow peas, onions, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, peppers ( variety) zucchini, just to name a fews. I also have started a strawberry and blackberry patch,which the wonderful animals seem to enjoy. What is better than going out and picking your veggies that look good, then making dinner for your family based on what you grew.

    I never made cheese, but would love to learn. Thanks for the opportunity.

  145. 145

    Rusty says

    First off love your weekly newsletter, it is like a breath of fresh air. As a Sweetgrass vendor I would love to figure out how to make a poster to put in my booth for my customers to all find out about you. How do I decide which cheese I like, wow depends on the recipe. I made one and added Jalapenos, ooh it was awesome. As with so many others would love to have the cheese making kit. Hope to see you at the Mother Earths News fair the first weekend in June.

  148. 148

    Ellen R says

    I’m a recent subscriber who learn more every week. Cheese is my favorite way to get dairy in my food plan. Any type is great but favorites include Mozzarella, Gouda, and goat cheese. With my cheese loving family coming for a summer visit it would be great to have homemade cheese with them.

  150. 150

    Peggy says

    Thank you so much for this opportunity to learn how to make homemade cheese..Mozeralla or cottage cheese would be wonderful if it was made with our own two hands. Homemade is something many do not remember ..I intend ,if I win to share this knowledge with as many as I can. Thank you so much for this chance. Peace and blessings to you Peggy

    Sandy Hutchison says

    The cheese guy at Honest Weight got me hooked on the too-expensive but oh-so-wonderful raclette de savoie. Fortunately, I don’t live near enough to the food coop to indulge myself as often as I might otherwise be tempted to do!

    I’m already a subscriber, and would love to try homemade mozzarella.

  153. 153

    Peggy says

    Hi, Kevin-
    I’ve been a subscriber for 3 months and I look forward to your posts! It’s a great site.
    I’d love to be entered in your drawing and I love all cheese; choosing a favorite would be like choosing your favorite child! I just can’d do it!

    Just want to take this opportunity to say thank you for sharing your wonderful garden and garden tips with everyone. I love following the progression of your garden and share your tips with my gardening friends. Thanks for all you do. Cheese…I have to admit that Jarlsberg is my very favorite cheese although I love and eat a lot of different cheeses (except Lindenberg…can’t seem to get past the smell), and would love to learn how to make cheese. But mostly I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog and browsing through your site.

BUT, I do make mozzarella often and for fun will be teaching/demonstrating making mozzarella at my local library on this Wednesday for their Lunch and Learn class. Of course I would love to win but I already have most of what is included in the kit. (No butter cheesecloth). Totally enjoy the blog and all of the great information. Thanks!

    It is a little known fact that on the 8th day, God had a wine and cheese party to celebrate finishing creation- you know, just a little get-together with the seraphim and the archangels. Everybody got very relaxed and comfortable, and the party went well into the cosmic night as they sat around the starfire and told stories.

    That’s how great cheese is.

    I really like your blog. Discovered it on Pinterest. It all started with winter sowing …. than Clara’s Dandelion Salad. Have not made it yet. I got hooked on nicotiana for evening perfume… but I have not found a seller of the seeds for the white variety you mentioned. Perhaps it to late but I would really like to hope it is not. And cheese… you name it and I love them all!

  305. 305

    Katy Lamb says

    Maybe this will work this time…..was given an error when I tried to comment before….I’ve never tried to make cheese, but would love to learn how. I’ve never eaten a cheese I didn’t love….am not sure what my favorite is. Sure enjoy your blog………..

    prairiecactus says

    I just made a baked gluten free mac and cheese for dinner today…it was awesome! The recipe called for two of my favorite cheeses, gouda and sharp cheddar. When I really want a nice snack cheese though, I make a finely chopped pecan, maple syrup mixture poured over a wheel of brie….heated in the oven or microwave and served with some really nice crackers and a cranberry walnut relish…that’s three but who can have only one favorite cheese?

    I’ve never made cheese….but, if I was to win the GRAND “Ricki’s Cheese Making Kit” I think my mother (82 yrs old) and I would enjoy playing in our own cheese making factory.
    With all of the cheesie folks in this house… no doubt, it would be eaten ;^).
    So many good things you can do with cream cheese – it would be great to be able to make your own!

    Kate says

    Its so hard to pick a favorite cheese! I haven’t met too many I didnt like. I love a good Vermont cheddar and I love fresh mozzarella. I imagine homemade mozzarella must be one of the most delicious things ever!

    My favorite cheese depends on the season and my mood: chevre in the summer, blue cheese in the fall with a good caesar salad, hard cheeses like leyden in the winter. I love your blog and newletters. I always learn something new and admire the photographs.

    I am a subscriber and have enjoyed (and used) many tips & hints already concerning the garden. Cheese is in the DNA of this family…so making our own would be amazing! My favorite cheese…so hard, like choosing my favorite child! A quality extra sharp cheddar would be way up there as well as fresh mozzerella (I eat Trader Joe’s packaged in oil & spices from the package…) Thank you for sharing with us your practical advice and experiences.

We are trying to eat better, more fresh, less pre packaged. My son and I are even trying to grow zucchini and strawberries this year because I was inspired by your newsletter. We have already had 6 berries and the zuch’s are full of blooms. He is 4 and will sit on the back porch and swears he can see them growing. Love your newsletter, keep them coming.

    sarah says

    Love fresh mozzarella made from raw goats milk. It is sweet and so creamy tasting. Have to say my favorite though is vinegar cheese made from raw goats milk. It is so versatile. We milk 26 to 28lbs of milk from our goats so we make a lot of cheese.

    Karin Rougeau says

    OUCH !
    Scrolling forever and thinking of a Soap Opera called What are the ODDS? Slim to None !

    I’m already a subscriber and would love to have the cheese kit ( hint, by a couple more next time ) lol..

    With all going on in the world, this is where I come to relax and learn and hopefully share new tips. My gardents are not as fancy as yours, but have loved growing things my whole life and have been mainly organic for over 30 years.

    Really only got away from vegetables and “house plants’ in the last few years.. Older age has slowed me down enough to appreciate flowers, trees and shrubs. Also have picked up bird appreciation (watching) so I plant more and more for the birds.

    We just moved ( less then 2 yrs ago ) to this region of the Country, N. Fl. and it hasn’t been too much fun getting used to this soil here.. slowly but surely I am mastering it when the old back lets me. I will garden to my dying breath. Nothing gives me more satisfaction and peace than gardening, even though it is hard work and I now need a bit of help with the heavy work!

    Keep up the great Website, I love it here !
    Karin

    I like a number of cheeses ( raised in Midwest ) and dairy was large part of our diet growing up in the late 40’s, 50’s,. and 60’s. Believe it or not Dairy was very inexpensive back then, not like today.
    I love the old standbys Chedder, Colby, and even the newer ones I have found over the years, Mozzerella, Feta, Parmesan. ( I crave it at times and put a chunk in my cheek and let it melt there, weird, huh )
    etc. and would love to master cheese making of my own.
    Great Giveaway Idea Thanks for the opportunity and sharing your knowledge !

    Not only do I love being a Domestic Goddess, this would be an excellent activity with my mother-in-law, who has early Alzheimer’s. Well, OK, we also love cheese! I don’t think there’s a cheese we don’t love, but probably Mozzerella would be enjoyed the most! Cheddar or Colby would be a close second. I love the idea of making our cheese so we don’t get lots of unnecessary additives. I try to cook wholly natural foods, organic, etc. I am convinced it is healthier for Mom! Thanks for your great blog – glad I found you!

    Love homemade cheese I hope I win because it’s been ages since I made my very tasty mozzarella grilled cheese. You can only make it with really fresh mozzeralla.

    I have been a Facebook fan for several months and I’m so delighted to have found your blog. LOVE it to pieces!! My favorite cheese is mozzarella and I’ve never had the chance to try fresh, homemade, so that would be an entirely different experience, I’m sure!

    Thank you for your awesomeness.

    I’m a beginner. I ordered 2 books with recipes for butter, yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese, ricotta and other cheeses.. Yesterday I made homemade sour cream for the first time. It turned out great, so I’m encouraged. I have a source of raw milk and I’m ready to start making cheese. Extra sharp white cheddar, mozzarella and ricotta are among my favorite cheeses.

    Cheddar, very sharp. If you haven’t tried the buttery goodness that is Stickleton Bleu from Zingermans’ though, you haven’t had the best yet!

    Buongiorno, Kevin! I never knew Mozzarella & Ricotta cheese making could actually be this easy. And, you made it so – thank you! I printed out your how-to-s. And, now there’s a contest – yippee!
    My Italian Grandmother would visit all the way from New York City to California when I was young. We would try to contain ourselves until she opened her suitcase. Out would come two wrapped balls of fresh mozzarella. She’d slice, we’d add salt and pepper, and everyone would die and go to heaven as we savored the “real” deal straight from Little Italy. Would I ever love to replicate that experience on my own!
