Why Use Fresh Cheese Culture?
Starter cultures are the heart of successful cheese making. They convert lactose into lactic acid, lowering the milk's pH and allowing curds to develop correctly while creating the flavour and texture unique to artisan cheeses.
Mad Millie Fresh Cheese Culture is an aromatic mesophilic culture, meaning it contains additional bacterial strains that produce subtle buttery flavours and small gas pockets, making it ideal for fresh cheeses. Unlike standard mesophilic cultures, it includes Lactococcus lactis biovar diacetylactis and Leuconostoc to enhance flavour development.
