FAQs

When will I receive my kit?

• Orders will ship within 3 business days.  You will receive a shipment notification & tracking number via email when your order has shipped.  Please note:
• We are unable to accommodate requests for specific shipping dates or a change in shipping address once your order has already shipped.  
• Cannot ship to P.O. Boxes.  
• Orders for multiple products will ship separately and possibly on different dates. 

How soon do I need to watch the video and use my kit?

• The curd will be shipped to you on dry ice (it’s ok if slightly thawed upon arrival), and should be stored in the freezer when it arrives. It will need to be thawed before using (either in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water on the countertop). As this is a naturally fermented product, once thawed, it should be used the same day for best stretching results (upon thawing, the fermentation process continues and will alter the outcome of your stretching.) 

Can I give this as a gift?

• Yes!  Just put the recipient’s address in the shipping information, and let them know to look out for the delivery! Please note that all notifications will be sent to the email address provided during checkout - please forward any pertinent information to your gift recipient if you choose to enter your own email.

How long will the burrata be good for, and how much will I be able to make?

• It’s your choice (as you will see in the video), but you can end up with one larger or two smaller burrata, and is best enjoyed the day it’s made! You can store it in water for up to 24 hours. It is great served simply with toasted bread & olive oil, or makes a great addition to a salad, sliced & spread on a finished pizza and is sure to impress! Do an Instagram search for #burrata and you’ll be inspired!

What is curd?

• They are the solids that remain after the milk is coagulated and the whey is removed. Curd simply means “unfinished cheese.”  In cheddar, for example, it would mean that the curds have not been pressed or aged. In the case of mozzarella it means that the curds have not yet been stretched.

What does ‘cultured’ mean?

• This means we make our cheeses in the traditional way, using cultures - or bacteria - to start a natural fermentation process. This is different from the industrial cheesemakers who use vinegar or citric acid to coagulate the milk to make it appear to look like cheese (thereby leaving a high level of lactose in the cheese).

Are your cheeses pasteurized?

• Yes, all of our cheeses are pasteurized at a low temperature to preserve the quality and natural flora of the milk as much as possible.  By federal law any cheese aged less than 60 days must be pasteurized.
