Not sure - but I saw our local Bin Inn advertising cheese making kits - so maybe they could have it?

I'd ask at the chemist..they carry all sorts of things like that or as the other person said google it but put in NZ on the end should give web address's for it..or at least show you what sort of places to check like a chemist.

The only calcium chloride I have had anything to do with, is for use in swimming pools, to increase the hardness of the water. You have to be very careful how you use it, ie. if mixing with water you must add it to water, never ever pour water on to it. It releases a lot of heat when in solution and you don't want to get it on your skin or clothes. Pool shops sell it.
