Description

TA 61 Thermophilic starter culture can be used to make a variety of hard Italian and Swiss style cheese including Parmesan, Romano, Mozzarella, Provolone, Emmenthaler/Swiss.

The active Temperature range for this culture is 68-125°F with optimum acid production at 104-108°F.

Many of the above suggested cheeses are heated to around 122-128°F, this culture will have little to no acid produced at these high temperatures. Although this culture does not thrive in these hot temperatures, it survives quite well. As the temperature of the cooling cheese falls into the cultures optimum temperature range it begins proper acid production.

Italian Porter

I used this for an Italian Porter, the cultures always work. The only problem is waiting for the usps to deliver.

Don't mess with my cheese!

I used TA 61 to make this bel paese cheese and it seems to have worked quite well. It is now drying after its salt brine dip. I get fruit flies this time of year so my trusty cheese mouse is standing guard and elevates the mesh off the top of the cheese for drying before going in to the cave. I hope he mellows along with the cheese so I can sneak a nibble.
