Propionic Shermanii (Swiss) $14.95
Description
Propionic Shermanii (Swiss) produces the characteristic eyes, aroma and flavor associated with Swiss, Gruyere and Emmenthal style cheese.
This is not an acid producing culture and needs to be used in conjunction with a Thermophilic or Mesophilic culture to convert lactose and produce acid for proper cheese making.
The success of this culture depends on a warm aging period after an initial short ripening period. Details for this process should be included in recipes that call for this culture.
