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.

United StatesI love your cultures. They're a fair price and your turn around on orders is fantastic. The culture keeps forever in the freezer and is dependable every time. Roy
United StatesThe culture worked perfect in my cheese recipes!
United StatesI just made my first Siss cheese. It looks fantastic. I'm still in the cool phase but will bring the cheese to room temp soon to watch it swell and develop its characteristic holes!
CanadaArrived quickly and used in a batch of cheese already – will have to wait 6-12 months before I know how it turned out though! :)
United StatesThe TA61 culture arrived on time and is now part of a beautiful wheel of Asiago cheese!
