United StatesWorks Great
We've tried to use good quality milk but still use this with every batch. New to cheesemaking but love the product and easy to use.
AustraliaCalcium Chloride review
I make a batch of Haloumi cheese every week using your cultures which would obviously include your Calcium Chloride. I get an excellent result every time.
United StatesWorks Great
We only use it for one recipe because we use raw milk. But it works great for when we do need it.
United Statesworked perfectly
This product worked excellently. Without it we had to wait several hours for curd to form (probably because we were not sure how many Rennet pills to use?). After adding the Calcium Chloride are curd was ready within an hour. This product is a good time saver.
