I have used the thermophilic culture along with other cultures to make baby Swiss from my raw goat milk. It barely had aged enough, and my sister right on target (she lives with me and loves all the cheeses) ate a good deal of one of the two rounds. She was right, it was the best baby Swiss EVER! My mom was gifted the other round, and her comments are still coming in, she loves it too!

I’ve used the feta culture and it’s awesome. I’m looking forward to using this culture and venturing into other types of cheeses.
I have made fresh cheese curds without this but the flavor is just blah. I would highly recommend this to give the curds a buttery flavor. It's so easy to use the pre-measured packets!
We have used Thermophilic Starter Culture from New England Cheese Company for over a year and it is wonderful. Packets are pre-measured for easy application. Ordering online is very quick and shipping is always on time and packaged wonderful! So much helpful information on their website! I talked to them on the phone once and they were very helpful and polite. All around a wonderful company to do business with.
