I have to make buttermilk every other day. My husband prefers it over store bought. I like it for baking also. Thank you New England Cheese Making Supply Co. for making it so easy and quick.

Our 4th time making the Buttermilk with fresh goat’s milk n your culture. So easy and delicious

I started with whole milk and this culture produced a buttermilk that was very thick and creamy - like thinned yogurt. I used it in a berry breakfast cake that turned out very light and fluffy - delicious. The pancakes I used it in were also very light and tangy. I froze the rest in 1/4 cup amounts to use in the next 3 months.

I have used this starter to inoculate for cultured butter, crème fraîche and buttermilk. My grandmother used wild starter but occasionally got inconsistent and undesirable results. Today we get perfect, delicious results every time. We're not playing here. This product works. The buttermilk is delicious but you cannot make culture butter without it!

Love this culture. Tried several and this one is the best. Great for fresh buttermilk. Which I use in biscuits and other recipes. Will definately be buying more.
