United StatesMy first attempt at a goats milk cheddar with this recipe. It sure looks good
United StatesI love this because it lets me keep starter on hand all the time.
United StatesUsed to make homemade cream cheese. I used cream from our Jersey Cow. Sterilized the cream and added the culture. Tastes great.
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.
