There are kits available for making your own cheese. These kits are specifically for making the variety of cheese you desire. They will provide the user with the proper starter culture that the cheese variety requires.

There are two types of starter culture used in the cheese making process. The Mesophilic starter culture if used when you don't require alot of heat, or non cooked cheese. These cheeses include Cheddar, Colby, Mozzarella, and Gouda.

Thermophilic starter cultures thrive when a heating process is used when making cheese. Use this type of starter culture when you'd like to make some Swiss cheese. Some Italian and German Cheeses use a thermophilic starter culture.
