TA 61 Thermophilic Starter Culture
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.
