Mesophilic Culture - MM100

I use this culture to make cottage cheese without any renet using a 24 hour fermentation cycle. The flavor profile is very Gouda like and it leads to a delicious mellow cheese. Many cultured cottage cheese varieties are tangy, as if they have some sour cream culture in them. I may try this culture with a sour cream culture to see if I can get closer to that profile.

A small package with a big bang. 1/16th of a teaspon per 1/2 gallon of goat milk makes a wonderful soft cheese. I will be using this consistantly and also trying some of their other cultures.

Cheese turned out!

Worked perfectly for my feta cheese

Great cheese starter. Works everytime!

It took FOREVER to arrive. I was about to just send it back, thinking it could not possibly survive rattling around in the summer heat for its absurdly long delivery journey, but the package had a FAQ in it that essentially said "not to worry - only extremely extended periods of high heat will inactivate the culture."Well, long story short, trusted the FAQ & gave it a try...ruined $30+ of goat milk that did not curd up, even though I followed my good old recipe to a T. Not to mention the $11 for the culture itself. Booooooo.

I'm used to getting cultures that I can make several batches of cheese from. I was lucky to get 3 from this package.

I have purchased several cultures and other products from Standing Stone Farms. The quality is always top notch!
