A Pioneer of Home Cheesemaking
New England Cheesemaking Supply Company was founded in 1978 by Ricki Carroll in South Deerfield, Massachusetts — a small Pioneer Valley town in the Connecticut River watershed where agriculture and craft food production have been central to the community since colonial times. Carroll was a home cheesemaker who couldn't find quality supplies and decided to import cultures and rennet herself, then began selling to other home cheesemakers.
The company grew as interest in artisan food production expanded, predating the broader farm-to-table movement by decades. Carroll's 1982 book, Home Cheese Making, became the definitive American resource on the subject and introduced hundreds of thousands of home cooks to the craft.
Massachusetts Craft Food Production
New England Cheesemaking Supply Company packages and distributes its products from South Deerfield, Massachusetts, where quality control over the live bacterial cultures requires careful temperature management and production oversight. The cheese cultures used in cheesemaking are living organisms that must maintain viability from production through the customer's cheese vat.
The company's 30-Minute Mozzarella Kit became its signature product — a straightforward recipe that produces fresh mozzarella with citric acid and microwave-heated curd, making professional-quality fresh cheese accessible to any home cook. The kit contains all necessary ingredients except milk, sourced and packaged in Massachusetts.
Preserving Cheesemaking Craft
New England Cheesemaking Supply Company sits at the intersection of cultural preservation and food craft education. Traditional cheesemaking knowledge — the understanding of bacterial cultures, coagulation, curd cutting, pressing, and aging — was at risk of disappearing from American home kitchens as processed and imported cheeses dominated the market. The company's kits, supplies, and educational resources have helped transmit this knowledge to a new generation of American food producers.
The company serves a diverse customer base: home cooks making their first mozzarella, small farmstead operations producing artisan cheese for farmers markets, and professional cheesemakers seeking consistent cultures. All customers are served from the South Deerfield facility, maintaining Massachusetts as the center of American home cheesemaking supply.
