Kefirko Cheese kefir maker 848ml
Kefirko fermentation and starter cultures with probiotic health benefits

The cheese maker makes it easy to prepare kefir cheese or other types of cheese. Its unique design allows you to quickly and easily separate the cultured milk kefir from the whey. The whey passes through the mesh and remains in the glass jar, leaving you with fresh, creamy cheese.

Kefir cream cheese has all the characteristics of cream cheese with the added benefits of live cultures resulting from fermentation. Making your own fermented cheese is the best way to ensure you have fresh cheese on your menu every day.

To make kefir cheese, you'll need kefir and the necessary supplies. You can use a Kefirko Cheese Maker—a kitchen utensil designed for making homemade kefir cheese. It includes a mesh basket for straining the kefir. We designed it to strain slowly, so the solids stay in the basket even as the whey drains. The mesh basket is attached to a glass jar, which allows you to preserve the whey—the liquid that drains out.

What types of cheese can you make?
With the Kefirko Cheese Maker, you can make a variety of cheeses. This kitchen utensil is designed for making kefir cheese, but you can also use it to make many other cheeses. It's easy to make cottage cheese, mozzarella, mascarpone, ricotta, and other cheeses with this innovative tool.

You can prepare 100-200g kefir cheese in a small jar with 600ml milk kefir and 200-400g cheese in a large jar with 1000ml milk kefir.

Usage
How does the cheesemaker work?
STEP 1
Pour the kefir into the mesh basket of the Kefirko Cheese Maker. You can pour in about 0.6 liters of kefir. Cover with the lid—don't tighten it tightly, so air can circulate—to prevent small bits and flies from falling into the kefir cheese.

STEP 2
Place the Kefirko Cheese Maker in the refrigerator to prevent/slow further fermentation. Let it sit for the appropriate amount of time to strain it and achieve the desired consistency. During the straining process, some cheese may dry on the edge of the ring, which you can easily clean off with a spoon.

STEP 3
Remove the Kefirko Cheese Maker from the refrigerator and open the top lid. (You can use the press spring at this point to make a harder cheese.) Unscrew the ring and remove it along with the mesh basket. Use the top lid as a container for the mesh basket and lower the ring. Take the mesh basket and turn it over the plate to remove the cheese.

STEP 4
The cheese is now ready to eat or use in recipes. Flavor your cheese by adding dried or fresh fruit, nuts, herbs, or spices of your choice. Choose your ingredients and prepare fresh cheese just the way you like it.

How long does it take to make?
If you're making your own kefir cheese, you first need to make the kefir. It takes 12-24 hours for the kefir to ferment. Then, strain the kefir, which you can strain directly into the Kefirko Cheese Maker. It also depends on the consistency you're looking for in your kefir cheese. The longer the kefir is strained, the drier and thicker the cheese will be. Here are the estimated straining times. Note that the consistency of your cheese will also depend on the individual ingredients and the temperature.

Time to drain
A few hours for a thicker kefir that can be used for dips.
Overnight stay for creamy cheese.
1-2 days for semi-hard cheese.
To obtain semi-hard cheese, you can also use the press spring with a disc to remove all the whey.
We recommend making kefir cheese in a cool place or refrigerator to stop/slow further fermentation. If you prefer a more sour/fermented flavor, you can let the cheese drain at room temperature.
