Geotrichum Candidum (GEO15) $10.45
Description
Geotrichum Candidum (GEO15) mold powder is yeast-like in appearance, with a mild flavor and aroma. With a creamy color and less proteolytic this mold powder has a slightly lower optimum growth temperature than other GEO strains.
This is a great for cheese that requires a smooth surface, washed and mixed rind cheese including Reblochon and a brushed Tomme. This mold powder also works well in bloomy and lactic cheese.
GEO15 does not develop the "wormy" texture, typical of other Geo strains.

Spraying on Cheese Surface

Add the following ingredients to an atomizer (spray bottle) and set in a refrigerator overnight before use.
- 1/8 tsp Geotrichum candidum
- 4-8 oz Non-chlorinated water
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp sugar
After use, store the atomizer solution in the refrigerator, it will keep for 60 days.
When applying mold powders with an atomizer, the moisture, temperature, and air circulation must be monitored to avoid a wet cheese surface.

United StatesMakes a great Tripe Crème!
The geotrichum candidum is great regardless of which cheese I am making. The one though that is really liked by family and friends in the Triple Crème. Always a hit!
United StatesGreat Quality, Great Price
I had such a strong desire to eat some cheese from my home country that has a very short shelf life, so it can't be exported. My only option was to try to make it myself. I found all necessary ingredients, including Geotrichum Candidum, from the New England Cheese Making Supply Co. I had great success on my third attempt and I can rest easy knowing that I can eat my favorite cheese any time I want now. My thanks to NECMSC for having everything I needed,
