Cheap way to make hard cheese

So I’ve been on a mission to cut as much excess spending in the kitchen as possible, making own bread, butter, yoghurt etc.

Now I’m turning my attention to cheese, and have started with some basic soft cheeses, but now - specifically cheddar. I can get about 15L of full cream milk free through my partners office at the end of the week (yes he has permission to take it because no one else does), however this is homogenized milk. Would I be wasting the milk trying to make cheddar out of it? By my understanding recipes specifically call for un homogenized milk, and I just would like to get a clearer idea of what to expect.

Want to make something equivalent

Hi all,

So my baby LOVES Rafferty's Garden Yoghurt Buttons (Link for Reference). He doesn't care about flavours, he just loves them.

I have been wondering if anyone had any ideas about how to safely make a similar style product as these cost a fortune and I'm not a fan of how much sugar is in them, however these original ones are freeze dried, (not an option for me)

My experience with dehydrating products is pretty limited to fruit slices and cherry tomatoes in a cheap dehydrator I inherited, and have no experience dehydrating dairy products in it.

Is it wishful thinking to create something like this that would be safe, or is there a way to safely make this?

Thank you for your input!
