Cheese Affinage is the digital assistant built for artisan dairies and cheese technologists — accurate recipe math, disciplined make-day tracking, and a real record of every wheel's maturation, all in your pocket.
Built around the actual rhythm of a creamery — measuring, making, and waiting.
Scale rennet, culture, calcium chloride and salt precisely against any batch size, so a 20‑liter vat and a 200‑liter vat are equally exact.
Step through curdling, cutting, cooking, draining, pressing and salting with timers and notes, so nothing slips while your hands are busy.
Track humidity, turning schedules and rind development for every wheel in the cave, from first day to final cut.
Every recipe, batch and aging record lives together, searchable and private, building a real institutional memory of your craft.
Enter milk volume and type — the calculator scales every ingredient instantly.
Move through each phase in order, logging times, temperatures and pH as you go.
Start a maturation record — target humidity, turning frequency, expected age.
Check in on the cave log any time; nothing leaves your device, ever.
Move the slider to your milk volume and watch the recipe scale in real time — this is the same math the app runs on make day.
Drag from a small kitchen batch (4L) to a full production vat (400L).
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Mesophilic / thermophilic culture | – |
| Liquid rennet (single strength) | – |
| Calcium chloride (diluted) | – |
| Cheese salt (for curd / brine) | – |
Reference ratios for demonstration — always calibrate to your own culture strength and recipe.
We're a small team of cheesemakers, dairy technologists and software builders who got tired of doing recipe math on scraps of paper and tracking wheel ages in a mess of spreadsheets. Cheese Affinage started as our own shop tool before we decided other creameries needed it too.
Our mission is simple: give artisan producers the same precision and consistency that large industrial dairies take for granted, without the industrial overhead. Good cheese starts with good discipline, and discipline starts with accurate numbers.
The app gives you three things in one place — an ingredient calculator that scales to any batch, a guided make-day phase tracker so no step gets rushed or forgotten, and a maturation log that follows each wheel through weeks or months in the cave.
Precision in the vat. Patience in the cave. That's the whole craft — and now it fits in your pocket.
Cheese Affinage was built on a simple principle: what happens in your creamery stays in your creamery. This policy explains, plainly, what we do and do not do with your information.
We collect nothing. Cheese Affinage does not ask for your name, email, location, device identifiers, or any personal information at any point during setup or use.
Because no information is ever collected, none is ever used, analyzed, aggregated, or sold. There is no user data on our end to put to any purpose whatsoever.
Every recipe, ingredient calculation, make-day log and wheel maturation record you create is stored exclusively on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, mirrored to a cloud, or synced anywhere. If you do not back up your device yourself, we have no copy either.
Cheese Affinage contains no analytics software development kits, no advertising networks, and no third-party trackers of any kind. No outside company receives data from this app because no data leaves the app.
The strongest safeguard we can offer is architectural: your information never travels over a network in the first place, so it cannot be intercepted, breached, or exposed by us. It remains subject to the security of your own device.
Cheese Affinage does not knowingly or unknowingly collect information from anyone, regardless of age. Because there is no collection mechanism at all, the app is inherently compliant with protections intended for younger users.
There are no accounts to create, manage, or delete. Uninstalling the app permanently removes every recipe, log and maturation record along with it, since nothing exists outside your device to begin with.
We may occasionally revise this policy to reflect new features or clarify existing language. Updates will appear on this page with a new effective date; our core commitment to collecting nothing will not change.
