Your cheesemaking adventure starts now.

Your membership includes a monthly live workshop with replay, direct support from Claudia as you learn, unlimited access to all online classes, exclusive recipes, member-only discounts on kits, and a supportive community of fellow cheese makers.

You’ll work your way through a delicious range of approachable homemade cheeses, from quick one-hour cheeses to 24-hour cultured fresh cheeses and, eventually, beginner-friendly aged cheeses you can age right in your kitchen fridge.

Claudia explains in detail in this video if you would rather watch.

We’ll start with confidence-building cheeses like paneer, queso fresco, and fromage blanc, then build toward styles like mozzarella, burrata, string cheese, feta, pepper jack, brie, and cheddar over time.

The exact monthly lineup may shift with the season, member needs, and what will give you the best learning experience. But the goal stays the same: one delicious cheese, one useful skill set, and one doable kitchen project at a time.

Yes! We begin assuming everyone is a beginner. Cheesecraft Club is for curious, aspiring home cheesemakers who have never made cheese or dabbled and are ready for clear guidance and steady progress.

You are welcome whether you’re brand new or ready to build on what you already know. You have choices and can go at your own pace.

The club is based on Claudia’s experience teaching thousands of home cheesemakers since 2009 through in-person classes, beginner-friendly kits, and her popular books One-Hour Cheese, Instant Pot Cheese and Cooking with Whey.

You do not need specialized equipment or any previous cheesemaking experience. We start with small batches, approachable cheeses, and step-by-step lessons that help you understand what to do, what to look for, and what to try next.

Each cheese teaches skills you’ll use again and again, so you’re not just following recipes. You’re becoming a more confident home cheesemaker, one delicious cheese and one month at a time.

Already made a few cheeses? Wonderful! Cheesecraft Club will help you keep going, build on what you know, and grow from “I've dabbled” to “I’m becoming a confident home cheesemaker.” You can follow the "monthly make" for steady progress, troubleshoot with support, and explore additional classes from the cheese library if you’re ready for more.

To get started, you'll need just a few basics:

You'll need milk, pasteurized store-bought milk, or raw milk if you already have access to it. Here is a video from Claudia about milk.

You'll also use common kitchen tools like a stock pot, colander, measuring cups, and measuring spoons. Here is video of Claudia demonstrating.

The basic cheesemaking ingredients and supplies you'll need to start are rennet, citric acid, lemon or vinegar, a thermometer, and fine-mesh cheesecloth. Then, you have the choice of introducing cultures and molds when you are ready.

Here is a video from Claudia about the two main cultures we can find in most grocery stores.

These basics will serve you again and again throughout the club.

If you already have a cheesemaking kit, you may be set. If not, our Deluxe Cheese Kit is the easiest way to get everything in one place, and club members receive 20% off at checkout.

Members will receive a "shop your kitchen" style checklist inside the membership as well as a resources list with online shopping links if you need a couple of items.

We keep it easy and affordable for you to make cheese!

Absolutely! Members receive 20% off all cheesemaking kits books and supplies. If you order when you sign up for your membership, the discount is automatically applied at checkout. Once in the club you will receive a secret member code you can use as long as you are a member.

We add new classes monthly, covering techniques for fast cheeses, overnight and cultured cheeses as well as short-aged cheeses that age in your fridge in a few days or weeks. Each class builds new skills and classes are organized and released as you progress to set you up for success. All classes are designed for beginners following this path. Members are notified when new content is available.

You’re still covered. Every live workshop will be recorded and added to the club’s Cheese Library, so you can watch the replay whenever it works for you.

If you have a question, you can submit it in advance and Claudia will answer it during the workshop so you can hear the guidance in the replay.

Workshop times may vary from month to month to give members in different time zones and schedules a chance to join live when possible. Cheesecraft Club itself is based in Oregon, U.S. Pacific Time.

Yes! Our private member community, our Cheesecraft Member Lounge, is a great place to share your creations, ask questions, troubleshoot issues, and connect with other new cheesemakers. It is not on Facebook, Skool etc. It is within the club, just for members, and in a quiet, noise-free, peaceful setting.

Absolutely. Direct support is integral to Cheesecraft Club and built into in several ways.

The Member Lounge includes an Ask Claudia channel dedicated to questions and support. You can post questions, photos, or short videos when you need help with a batch, and Claudia will respond within one business day, Monday through Friday.

You may also hear from fellow members who have tried the same cheese or run into a similar question, so you get the benefit of both expert guidance and community support.

You can also ask questions during the live workshop Q&A sessions. If you can’t attend live, you can submit your questions in advance and watch the answers in the replay.

And of course, email is available for account or access questions, but cheesemaking questions are best in the Ask Claudia channel or live workshops where your questions and the answers help everyone.

If you have any questions now, use the chat on bubble on the bottom of the screen.

That is the format of this club and it is for good reason, your success in making cheese. The monthly rhythmn and support included will ensure that you progress and make cheeses that help you gain real skills.

You can pause or cancel your membership at any time from your account settings. You'll continue to have access until the end of your current billing period.

Stay a season or a year, you will learn to make more cheeses and gain more skills the longer you stay.
