LakeOntarioFarmgirl	Posted - Mar 23 2010 : 04:16:42 AM I grew up with fresh mozarella cheese, and I have been so excited to be able to buy it the last few years in my grocery store. I would love to make my own, and have a recipe to try, but where would I find rennet and citric acid? I would like to get it locally if I can, rather than order it online. Thanks!

windypines	Posted - Mar 25 2010 : 04:29:57 AM I get citric acid from a bulk food store. I have seen it in grocery stores, by canning stuff. Rennet I get from Hoeggers. Michele
SheilaC	Posted - Mar 23 2010 : 2:10:54 PM Brenda, I grew up in Williamson, and my Grandma and Grandpa live in Shaker Heights in North Rose, went to church in North Rose, etc etc My dad was a Kodak man :) when Kodak was great. SO, yes, I'm VERY familiar with that area, though I haven't been there for several years now. My parents live down in the finger lakes area now, in Canadice. So we are down south there when we come visiting. So where is the health foods store in Ontario, on 104? Is it the one that used to be up on Ridge Road, what was it called, ummm... I think the Root Cellar? or something like that
LakeOntarioFarmgirl	Posted - Mar 23 2010 : 11:08:15 AM Amie- There's a health food store up on Route 104 in Ontario, about 25 minutes from me. I have to go into Tractor Supply this week, so will stop there. I'll let you know if they have it! Sheila- I was just there this morning!!! I go there all the time! Today I went for fabric and raw sugar, but never even thought that they might have it.... did you grow up around here? Brenda FarmGirl # 711 Nothing we achieve in this world is achieved alone.

Rea231	Posted - Mar 23 2010 : 10:39:14 AM I purchase mine at the Amish Grocery or the local health food store! Making cheese is so great, you will never want to buy it again. The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
SheilaC	Posted - Mar 23 2010 : 09:59:40 AM Brenda, do you go to the Springlake Fabric shop (I'm not sure if it's still there, used to be a great fabric store run by a mennonite family/families?) out by Wolcott? They used to have tons of specialty stuff, and do-it-yourself type stuff--not sure if cheesemaking supplies, but it was a very neat store.
Amie C.	Posted - Mar 23 2010 : 09:41:40 AM I haven't made a ton of cheese. I tried it several years ago, with a recipe that I got from the Genesee Country Museum. It was delicious! Lately I've been making the soft cheese spread from MJF Magazine, and that got me interested in trying the pressed cheese again. Brenda, I honestly never even thought about looking for rennet at a health food store. The GCVM recommended New England Cheesemaking to me, so that's where I ordered. But if you do find a local source, let me know! I'm probably going to place my order next week.
LakeOntarioFarmgirl	Posted - Mar 23 2010 : 08:01:59 AM Wow, thanks for all your help! Amie lives near me and is she is ordering it, it must be hard to find around here.... I don't mind ordering it from NECSC, I just bookmarked their website, looks great! Amie- we really have to plan on meeting each other soon! :) Do you make a lot of cheese? I wouldn't mind combining orders! Brenda FarmGirl # 711 Nothing we achieve in this world is achieved alone. It is always achieved with others teaching us along the way. Lee J.

kristin sherrill	Posted - Mar 23 2010 : 06:13:01 AM Brenda, if you have a 7th Day Adventist store in your area, they have the veggie rennet. Also try Hoagger Goat Supply. They have all cheese making supplies. But the NECSC would be closer to you. I want to start making chhese again. All my goats have kidded so I'll be swimming in goat milk soon. Have fun! Kris Happiness is simple.
Amie C.	Posted - Mar 23 2010 : 05:36:42 AM Brenda, I've gotten stuff from New England Cheesemaking Supply Company before also. In fact, I'm planning to order rennet again from them soon. If you can't find it locally, let me know. If it's not an issue of time, and more that you don't like putting your information out there online, maybe you could combine your order with mine.
EastTXFarmgirl	Posted - Mar 23 2010 : 05:26:40 AM Hey Brenda I get all my cheese making supplies from the New England Cheesemaking Supply Company. I have had very good luck with them. They also have a newletter that is really good that you can get via email. Here's the website. www.cheesemaking.com Begin each morning with a song in your heart.
LakeOntarioFarmgirl	Posted - Mar 23 2010 : 05:18:57 AM Thanks girls! We do have 2 health food stores fairly close by, I'll try them first....not sure about middle eastern stores, but there must be some around somewhere! I'm sure I will be posting once I get the cheese made! :) Brenda FarmGirl # 711 Nothing we achieve in this world is achieved alone. It is always achieved with others teaching us along the way. Lee J.
