Our little company was founded in 2009 by an apartment dweller with student loans to pay off!
Urban Cheesecraft started in 2009 as a business on the side to pay off student loans! That took two years and then, founder and cheesemaker Claudia Lucero continued on to be the fulltime force behind our DIY Cheese kits, cheesemaking books and classes.
Claudia started Urban Cheesecraft with a mission to help beginners make delicious cheeses with confidence and ease right in their own kitchen - with milk from a store if necessary.
We now offer a wide variety of DIY cheese kits for both traditional and dairy-free cheeses because no one should miss out on delicious fun!
Our kits are made in the U.S. and we only source high quality, all natural, non-GMO ingredients. Our aim is to make it easy and accessible to get started and to continue with confidence. There's a low investment in time and cost but high reward in self-sufficiency and quality.
Grab a kit for yourself and one for a loved one and you too can make life delicious!
