pH strips are a quick and easy way to check the acidification of your cheese and ferment.

In a lactic ferment and in cheese making beneficial microbes are underway to turn plant sugars and lactose into lactic acid.

This acidification can be measured and ensures your ferment or your cheese is on the right track.

For most cheeses timing of salting is really important; you want the fermentation to be just at the right acidity before you apply salt to slow it down.

A great tool to measure rennet for cheese making.

Many traditional French cheeses are "moulé à la louche", which means they have been ladled by hand. It stands for tradition, quality and hand-made products. 

A carefully ladled cheese is more flavourful, retains more fat and has a great texture.

Ladle is one piece and has been modified to work well for making a range of traditional French cheeses.
