Yes, Fromaggio is designed to be easy to use, especially for beginners! We describe our device as one that simplifies the cheesemaking process by using advanced technology to take the guesswork out of it. We have made it as intuitive as possible, making it perfect for those just starting their cheesemaking journey.

Fromaggio can make an impressive variety of cheeses! It's capable of producing both soft and hard cheeses, including:

• Mozzarella
• Cream cheese
• Cheddar
• Feta
• Gouda
• American
• Blue cheese
• Brie
• Halloumi
• Burrata
• Parmesan
• Chèvre (Goat) cheese

And many, many more.

In addition to classic cheese, users can edit every step of the process and make new and original cheeses according to their taste and diet.

Plus, Fromaggio can also make non-dairy, vegetarian, and vegan cheeses, as well as tofu!

The time it takes to make cheese with Fromaggio varies depending on the type of cheese you're making:

• Quick cheeses like Mozzarella can be ready in as little as 2 hours!
• Most other cheeses typically take between 12 to 48 hours to complete.

It's worth noting that for many cheeses, a large portion of this time is dedicated to the draining process. The great thing about Fromaggio is that you only need to intervene at the beginning and end of the process - the machine does most of the work for you!

So whether you're looking to make a quick fresh cheese or a more complex aged variety, Fromaggio has you covered!

Absolutely! Fromaggio fully supports vegan and lactose-free cheese options.

Here's what you can do:

1. Make vegan cheeses using plant-based milk like almond, cashew, or oat milk.
2. Create lactose-free cheeses using lactose-free milk.
3. Try our vegan cheese recipes, such as Vegan Cheddar and Vegan Mozzarella.
   
   Both our Stainless Steel click here and Copper click here versions can make these types of cheeses.
   
   Fromaggio gives you full control over ingredients, making it perfect for those with dietary restrictions or preferences. Enjoy delicious, homemade cheese that fits your lifestyle!

It depends on the cheese type, but in general Fromaggio can make around 1 pound per cycle. If you are using pasteurized milk, we recommend using our calcium chloride to increase the yield significantly.

To make cheese with Fromaggio, you'll need a few key ingredients:

1. Milk (most store-bought milk works, but avoid ultra-high pasteurized milk)
2. Cultures (specific to the type of cheese you're making)
3. Coagulants (like rennet)
4. Other additives (depending on the recipe, e.g., salt, calcium chloride)
   
   For the best results, we recommend using Fromaggio's own ingredients, which you can purchase here: https://fromaggio.com/collections/all

   Remember, the ingredients may vary depending on the type of cheese you want to make. Happy cheese-making!

Fromaggio itself doesn't age cheese, but we prepare cheese for aging! Here's how it works:

1. You make the cheese using Fromaggio
2. If it's an aged cheese, Fromaggio will tell you the optimal temperature and humidity level to age it at.
3. Remove the cheese from the machine
4. Age it yourself if you want to
   
   Our draining process helps prepare the cheese well for aging.
   
   For aging, many home cheesemakers use a wine fridge. Exciting news though - we are working on developing a cheese aging product to help customers properly age their homemade cheeses!
   
   So while we don't age the cheese directly, we set you up for success in the aging process!

The Fromaggio Cheese Maker is designed to be easy to clean and maintain! Firstly, we recommend running the cleaning cycle after each recipe is finished. After the cleaning cycle, you can put the heating container, mesh strainer, drainer, and cutter/mixers in the dishwasher. Avoid putting the base of the machine in the dishwasher.
