First of all, use appropriate tools for the job, not your toes

Unless your foot is dirty. That's how you make "stinky foot" cheese (parmesan). /s

Start with homemade ricotta and labneh, both use common ingredients and very simple methods. From there try creme fraiche. This is a good time to check out the New England Cheesemaking Supply Co. Creme fraiche can be made without a culture but it's way tastier if you use one. And from there you'll be ready to take on tougher cheeses and they are an amazing resource to help you through.

There's cheese making kits available, maybe start there.

This guy on YouTube has some great videos on how to make a few different styles of cheese.

We started with a mad millie kit on a whim. You get a lot of equipment you'll keep using as your level up
