United StatesMesophillic Cheese Culture
I use this as my main culture for my aged cheese, Gouda and Cheddar. Really love the taste of my cheese which I believe comes from this good culture and it works well every time!
United StatesMA 11 Is My Most Useful Culture
I have been buying the MA 11 culture for years and find it my most useful culture because it is very reliable, lasts a long time in the freezer, and makes my favorite cheese. I use Nigerian goat milk and often make Monterey Jack, which is a fairly simple recipe, as cheeses go. Massachusetts law doesn't allow me to sell the cheese, but it is a welcome gift or a refreshment at get-togethers. Everyone is always very enthusiastic when I bring it to meetings and such. And of course we eat a lot at home. If you keep it until it is strong and a bit dried out, you can even grate it for an excellent Parmesan substitute.
United StatesIt’s been great
This starter has been very nice. It has not failed me once. I make about 50 gal of milk into cheese each week. I like that the packages are big enough for several batches and are at a reasonable price. Thanks.
United StatesBeginners Luck
First time user. We made a Farmstead Cheese last night and used the MA 11 Mesophilic Starter Culture for the first time. It was easy to use and I do hope all turns out. The only question I have is that on the package it states to keep in freezer but the package came in the mail. What happens while it is transport.
