United StatesMakes All the Difference
I've always had trouble getting curd to form, even when using non ultra pasteurized milk. Calcium chloride makes all the difference. Just a quarter teaspoon in a gallon and it does it's magic. Some people add it and leave it overnight, but I just poured the milk in a large pot, added the calcium chloride and left it on the counter for a half hour or so and the curd formed beautifully.
United StatesWorks well
Not sure exactly what it does, but my halloumi turned out perfectly!
United StatesDoes the job!
Wonderful! I'm still a novice cheese-maker but it definitely does the job and helps to form curds.
United StatesWorked great! Cheese was excellent.
Quick delivery, effective packaging. Simply put, it worked. I ordered all my necessary ingredients from NE Cheesemaking Supply and they were all quality!
United StatesUsing Calcium Chloride in vegan "cheese"
I am very happy with the product. I am a vegan "cheese" and I am experimenting with traditional cheese making processes to see what the outcome is. The Calcium Chloride has helped firm up the nut meat helping to create harder firmer cheese.
