Elkmont, AL – From one of the country’s most awarded and applauded goat cheese creameries comes a trio of exciting new do-it-yourself cheesemaking kits. Belle Chevre is on a mission to demystify the science and art behind cheesemaking and wants to share the fun with home cooks.

All the kits contain a cheese towel, citric acid, a foodsafe pocket thermometer, cheese salt, and a complete set of instructions and recipes, all packed into a cute cardboard container. The Honey Box comes with a 3 oz Savannah Bees Cheese Honey, instructions to re-create Belle Chevre’s wildly successful honey breakfast cheese, and tubs and packaging perfect for storing or gifting cheese. The Kid Box comes with specialized instructions and one of several different just-for-kids surprises.The kit’s attractive, eye-catching design makes it a perfect gift, and one that can be re-used several times.

“Cheesemaking is so satisfying and is really so very easy,” says Belle Chevre president Tasia Malakasis. “That’s why we wanted to offer our expertise in the form of a creamery-in-a-box.” In just a few hours, and with only about ten minutes of active kitchen time, owners of this kit will be rolling their own chevre logs or mixing their own fromage blanc. Belle Chevre will provide digital support for this product, offering step-by-step visual guides on their blog and website.
Belle Chevre has produced a variety of internationally acclaimed chevres since 1989 using time-tested European farmstead techniques. The company is purposefully small, and each chevre is hand made in Alabama by its passionate cheese makers. Belle Chèvre cheeses have received numerous national awards from the American Cheese Society and the American Dairy Goat Association, and have been featured by Martha Stewart, Oprah, and everyone in between.
