So I periodically get an itch to learn some homesteading skills, and the turn has come to cheese.

After an initial look, it seems hard to do in my apartment, especially fitting a good cheese press, and a climate controlled storage.

Is it feasible to make cheese from an apartment? Do you know of any resources for suitable adaptations or other handy tips? Have you tried yourself? What worked well and what is better avoided altogether?

Yes, it is possible to make some cheeses in an apartment.When I got into it 15 years ago, it was just my family and internet instructions. The mozarella and ricotta turned out fine. More complex, not really. Start with these.
