DIY Aged Cheese Kits

Blacksticks Blue: Mature Your Own Lets Cheese Lovers Decide the Aging Process

— December 1, 2020 — Art & Design
There are some cheese kits that are helpful for making certain kinds of cheese from scratch and others that simply deliver pre-made products. With the Blacksticks Blue: Mature Your Own kit, cheese lovers get to decide exactly when they'd like to enjoy their Blacksticks Blue Truckle cheese and watch as the blue cheese takes on those colorful, distinctive veins as it gets to the desired strength.

Due to the nature of the kit, the cheese will be ready in anywhere from four to 14 weeks—depending on how much patience a household has. Over time the cheese will turn from mellow to tangy in taste. The playful kit provides all the essentials for maturing cheese at home, plus a "birth certificate" for the cheese once it is ready to enjoy as desired.
