United StatesExactly what we were looking for
United StatesIn Ill., we only have UP products. After several attempts(using prescribed recipe),found the following> 1. UP 1/2-1/2 Cream, warmed to 90*, added five drops of 'rennet' in cool-down to 86*,then spread/ added C30-incorporated! 2 Works GREAT-Better than any S.C. bought locally. SKI608@comcast.net.
United StatesI used the raw milk from our own cow, let it sit overnight, skimmed the cream, added the culture per directions, let it sit overnight and by the next day was delicious, better than store-bought, sour cream. This culture was super easy to use.
United StatesI just got done making my first batch of sour cream, using the sour cream starter culture, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it was the freshest tasting sour cream. It will be hard eating store bought sour cream again.
United StatesI have used this starter several times. Very delicious and easy to make.
