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

With the cheese maker, you can easily prepare kefir cheese or other types of cheese. Thanks to the unique design, you can easily and quickly separate the cultured milk kefir from the whey. The whey passes through the mesh and remains in the glass jar, and in the mesh, you get fresh creamy cheese.

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

To prepare kefir cheese, you need kefir and supplies. You can use a Kefirko Cheese Maker - a kitchen tool designed to make homemade kefir cheese. It includes a mesh basket in which the kefir is strained. We designed it to strain slowly, so the solids stay in the basket while the whey drains out. The mesh basket is attached to a glass jar that allows you to store the whey - the liquid that drains out.

What types of cheese can you make
With the Kefirko Cheese Maker, you can make various cheeses. This kitchen tool is designed to prepare kefir cheese, but you can also make many other cheeses with it. It is easy to prepare quark, mozzarella, mascarpone, ricotta, and other cheeses using this innovative tool.

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

Usage
How the cheese maker works
STEP 1
Pour the kefir into the cheesecloth basket of the Kefirko Cheese Maker. You can pour in about 0.6 l of kefir. Cover with the lid - do not tighten it too much, so that air can flow - to prevent small pieces and flies from getting into the kefir cheese.

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

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

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

How long does it take to make?
If you make kefir cheese yourself, you first need to make the kefir. It takes 12-24 hours for the kefir to ferment. After that, you strain the kefir, which you can directly pour into the Kefirko Cheese Maker. It also depends on what kind of consistency you are looking for in your kefir cheese. The longer the kefir is strained, the drier and thicker the cheese will be. Here are the estimates for the straining time. Note that the consistency of your cheese also depends on the individual ingredients and the temperature.

Draining time
A few hours for a thicker kefir that can be used for dips.
Overnight for creamy cheese.
1-2 days for semi-hard cheese.
To achieve semi-hard cheese, you can also use the pressing spring with disc, so that all the whey comes out.
We recommend making kefir cheese in a cool place or in the refrigerator to stop/slow down further fermentation of the kefir. If, on the other hand, you prefer a more sour/fermented taste of the cheese, you can let the cheese drain at room temperature.
