CanadaI have been making soft cheeses for years now, but the jump to hard cheeses seemed impossible. The New England Cheese Making Supply Co. website is amazing and it helped me decide what starter cultures to try for my first hard cheese. Yesterday the impossible became possible as I attempted cheddar cheese for the first time! The MA11 starter which smelled like cheddar even in its package was amazing! My first attempt wasn't perfect, but it was delicious! We decided to eat the cheese fresh it tasted so good! I am going to try my hand at ageing cheese next week ... when I attempt cheddar again! Thanks Guys, Crazy Goat Lady
United StatesWorks like a charm, happy as always with cheesemaking.com
United StatesThis made the best cheese. I love it and so did my family. Good company too. I really like New England Cheese Company. I can't add a photo, because we ate it so quickly.
United StatesTrying it now for some Chesire, we'll see how it works.
United StatesPretty solid culture. While I use it for most of my cheeses, it does do better for the cheeses it's suggested to work with. Also keeps pretty well in the freezer for up to a year.
