I was very surprised with the size of the package as a whole and then each component when I first received it. I was put at ease though after reading their flyer which quickly addresses the portion sizes an the fact that you use so little of each the items will last a long time. When I made my first batch of mozzarella cheese I found they were right. This will all last me quite a while so am please with the purchase and feel it is a good deal for the price. I have made mozzarella cheese twice now and am ready to branch out and try making different kinds from the recipes that are included.
