I watched this guy's videos a bunch because it's a comfy channel then got into it myself

It's not very expensive but there are significant upfront costs. I think I spent about $300 to get started so my first generic blue cheese was $100 a pound but the subsequent ones cost maybe $1.50/lb and taste better than anything I can buy at my supermarket by a mile. Though I haven't used any since I live in a big city, you can buy unpasteurized milk in state from local producers. More than anything it is pretty labor intensive (flipping cheeses in the cheese cave, changing brines, stirring milk for 45 minutes) but for me, producing something with your own two hands makes it taste even better. Also make good gifts except now my mother keeps pestering me to make more Camembert

If you wanted to sort of test the waters you could make things like mozzarella, ricotta, and fresh farmer's cheeses for much less money to see if you like it before you sink a couple paychecks into it
