It produces a distinctive butter-like flavor and open texture, ideal for soft and semi-soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, Gouda, and Feta. Trusted by cheese artisans for consistent, authentic European-style cheese making. ## Description This is the mesophilic culture to use for a more pronounced butter like flavor and a somewhat more open texture For use in soft ripened, and fresh cheeses such as: Chevre, Cream Cheese, Brie, Camembert, Gouda, Edam, Blue, Feta, and Havarti. This culture contains the 2 primary cultures of MA011 but the diacetylactis will produce CO2 and a butter like flavor/aroma. Cheese made with this culture will be somewhat more open in texture and in a cheese such as gouda will provide the desired, small round holes. Contains: (LL) Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (LLC) Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris (LLD) Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis WHAT IS DCU? A DCU is a proprietary measurement which is neither a weight nor a volume. Instead, it is a measure of the bacterial activity contained within the entire packet, since creameries and commercial cheese makers use these packets in their entirety. A 50-DCU packet of a given lot today could weigh, for example, 14 grams, but tomorrow's lot with the same DCU value could weigh 17 grams. The entire packet as a whole will have a consistent total amount of activity. Home cheese makers only use a very small portion of the packet at one time and must slightly over-inoculate anyway; therefore, this DCU measurement and its subtle variability between won't affect your homemade cheese.

Please note that tablet rennet is not included in this as this is true culture. You will need to add rennet. I prefer our microbial, sold on here as well. Feel free to reach out to me for any recipe help. Happy Cheese Making, Paula **Q: I'm looking at making 1 quart batched os sour cream...how much mesophilic would I use?** A: I would 1/4 tsp. Culture should be plenty. Best, Paul **Q: Will this product lose potency if shipped during hot conditions?** A: It remains stable, however, once opened it should be stored in a freezer. **Q: How long to culture for creme fraiche before adding rennet?** A: Hi, I don’t actually use this or rennet in my Creme fraiche. I use cultured buttermilk but if you want to use this, it would take about 1/4 tsp. per 2 cups heavy cream. Warm milk in a water bath to 70 degrees F, add culture or cultured buttermilk. Let sit room temp for 24 hours, stir gently and refrigerate. I actually make it in a quart mason jar so I can just store it in that as well. I cover the top of the jar with a coffee filter and band while making then fully cap when done.
