Propionic Culture (LyoPro PIONIC)

LyoPro® PIONIC is a specialized culture designed to bring the signature flavor, texture, and eye formation to Swiss-style cheese like Emmental, Gruyère, and Grevé. With its strong gas production and balanced acidification, this culture works alongside mesophilic or thermophilic starter cultures to develop the characteristic large holes and nutty, propionic aroma that define traditional Swiss cheese.

Key Benefits:

• Creates Signature Swiss Cheese “Eyes” – High gas production results in beautifully formed, well-developed eyes (holes).
• Enhances Aroma & Flavor – Produces the distinct propionic aroma that gives Swiss-style cheese its rich, nutty character.
• Performs in High-Temperature Conditions – Heat-resistant properties allow for reliable results in warm aging environments.
• Pairs with Other Starters – Works in harmony with mesophilic and thermophilic cultures for optimal cheese development.

LyoPro® PIONIC is the key to creating authentic Swiss-style cheese with the perfect balance of texture, aroma, and traditional eye formation.
