mozzarella cheese

Grades 3–12 (Kit)

Say cheese! Explore the science, art, and craft of cheesemaking. With the Mozzarella Cheese Kit, students roll up their sleeves to make fresh mozzarella while learning about enzymes, acids, and the chemistry that transforms milk into cheese. Along the way, they’ll step into the role of an artisan cheesemaker, discovering both the science and creativity involved in developing specialty cheeses.

This hands-on kit provides enough rennet and citric acid for six batches of mozzarella cheese, allowing multiple classes or groups to experience the activity. Cheesemaking activities connect agriculture to food science, nutrition, and careers in food production.

Looking for a smaller option? Try the Mini Mozzarella Cheese Kit, which includes enough supplies for 1–2 batches—perfect for demonstrations or small groups.


⚠️ Heat-Sensitive Item: Store rennet and citric acid in a refrigerator or freezer if the kit is not used immediately to maintain quality.

    Mozzarella Cheese Kit

    Posted by Bobby Barron on Sep 3rd 2025

    This was the second year that I’ve done the mozzarella cheese making lab. My students were very engaged and they loved eating the cheese. I had kids all day telling me they couldn’t wait for science. This is a fun and easy lesson to teach.

    The contents and instructions are spot on and the students LOVED seeing the progression from milk to cheese! Their reactions were priceless as the texture changes and such. They have a much better understanding about the evidence that chemical reactions are occurring. THANK YOU!!!

    Cheese

    Posted by Jennifer Cosman on Jan 3rd 2023

    My students love to make cheese. Some of them get grossed out by the texture when the curds start separating from the whey, but over all they enjoy the lab and eating the finished product. I like that the kit has everything I need and I don't have to go looking for individual ingredients and fixing recipes to match what I need/can get. Very convenient.
