In cheese making culture is used to ‘ripen’ the milk. Essentially, this means you are acidifying the milk so that rennet can be added. There are many different types of culture used for various types of cheeses such as soft cheese, hard cheese, moldy cheese etc.

For this Cheddar Kit we use MA, 11 a mesophilic starter culture. 

Store in the Freezer at all times for maximum shelf life. Culture will last 2 years (one year past the expiration date). Culture will only last 1 month if left at room temperature and will deactivate immediately if left in the sun or high temperatures.

There is enough culture in this item to make 10 batches of cheddar
