Mesophile Starter CapCulture - 100 pcs

Mesophile Starter Culture

Mesophile starter culture is specifically designed for the production of cheeses that require moderate temperatures for fermentation. This culture is ideal for cheeses that ripen at temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C, such as soft cheeses, semi-soft cheeses, and some varieties of cheddar, mozzarella, and brie. The mesophilic bacteria in this culture work effectively at these temperatures to create the right texture, flavor, and acidity in the cheese.

Key Features:

• Moderate Temperature Fermentation: Ideal for cheeses that require fermentation at temperatures between 20°C and 30°C.
• Flavor and Texture Development: Helps create the characteristic mild, tangy flavor and smooth texture found in a variety of cheeses.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for a wide range of cheese types, from soft and semi-soft cheeses to semi-hard varieties.

Ingredients:

• A blend of mesophilic bacteria, which includes strains such as Lactococcus lactis, Lactococcus cremoris, and Leuconostoc species. These bacteria work together to ferment milk and produce the acids necessary for curd formation and flavor development.

Properties:

• Temperature Range: Effective at temperatures between 20°C and 30°C.
• Fermentation Speed: Depending on the cheese type, fermentation typically occurs within 12-24 hours.
• pH Control: Helps in controlling the pH during fermentation, ensuring proper curd formation and optimal acidification.

Recommended Use:

• For Cheese Making: Typically, use 1-2 grams of mesophile starter culture per liter of milk, but the amount may vary depending on the type of cheese you are making and the specific recipe. Mix the culture into the milk after it has been heated to the appropriate temperature, and let it ferment for the required time.

Applications:

• This culture is ideal for making Fresh cheeses, soft cheeses (such as cream cheese and cottage cheese), semi-soft cheeses (such as gouda and cheddar), and other cheeses that require controlled fermentation at moderate temperatures. It’s particularly useful for cheeses that require gentle acidity and mild flavours.

Package Options:

• CapCulture (Encapsulated Form): Convenient and precise, with one capsule per 10 litres of milk.
• BulkCulture (Powdered Form): Designed for larger-scale production, with one gram per 20 litres of milk.
