United StatesMy cottage cheese is made with local, raw milk, Fresh Starter Culture (item# C3) and a wee bit of Flora Danica (item # C11). It smells heavenly and tastes great. The grandkids love it!
United StatesReally good culture and bacteria spectrum. Produces a predicted amount of acidity (lactic acid) and a subtle aromatic quality. I find it deal for some basic cheeses fresh cheese, but also works well with a thermophilic culture if you need to age some farmhouse style cheese.
United StatesThis culture makes it easy to make fresh goat cheese exactly how my family likes it over and over again!!
I have been making this cultured milk on a regular basis. We eat this in place of yogurt and it's delicious. Also, we use this to make our smoothies.
