Cultures

FreshQ® cultures are traditional lactic acid bacteria that deliver inhibition of unwanted yeast and molds in fermented dairy products. The effect is obtained through active participation in the natural fermentation. Developed for application in fresh...

HOLDBAC YM VEGE is an effective and label-friendly solution to secure quality over shelf-life and reduce food waste by inhibiting undesired microorganisms such as yeasts and molds through competitive exclusion following a fermentation stage. HOLDBAC YM...

MM culture is a blend of mesophilic cultures preferred for soft ripened and fresh (unripened) cheeses: Brie, Camembert, Havarti, Gouda, Edam, Feta, Blue, Chevre, and similar styles. This culture creates a pleasant blend of lactic acid flavor and subtle...

Vegetal 7 is a blend of dairy-free freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria specifically selected for use in making dairy-free, yogurt-style fermented products. This culture results in a mild yogurt flavor with a smooth texture and medium body. Vegetal is...

Thermophile Type C (often called Thermo C) is a thermophilic lactic acid starter blend often used for Swiss-style and Alpine cheeses. Slower acid producer. Sometimes used with Thermo B to increase speed of acidification.  CONTAINS:Streptococcus...

Thermophile Type B (often called Thermo B) is a thermophilic lactic acid starter blend for use in Italian-type cheeses, especially mozzarella. Slower acidifier than TM81, allowing more control of acid production. CONTAINS:Streptococcus...

Defined thermophilic rotational strains of Streptococcus thermophilus. Fast acidifying culture often used for making Italian and Swiss-style cheeses such as mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano, provolone, Emmental/Swiss. May also be used for Muenster...

The thermophilic TA 60 series are "fast" strains (fast acidifying, as compared to the TA 50 series) of Streptococcus thermophilus and are often used for making Italian and Swiss-style cheeses such as mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano, provolone,...

The lactic acid starter TA 50 series are "slow" thermophilic strains of Streptococcus thermophilus (as compared to the TA 60 series). TA 50 series cultures are often used for mozzarella, Muenster and other semi-hard and stabilized soft cheeses. This...

Defined thermophilic rotational strains of Streptococcus thermophilus. Very fast acidifying and highly concentrated, this culture is applicable wherever fast acidification rates are desired. Used primarily for pasta-filata type cheeses, and may also be...

This thermophilic culture blend is a preferred choice for Parmesan or other hard, high-cooked cheeses. Produces a mildly sweet, nutty flavor profile. Can be utilized as a flavor adjunct in cheddar. CONTAINS:Streptococcus thermophilusLactobacillus...

The thermophilic CHOOZIT STAR series are very fast strains (fast acidifying, as compared to TA 60 series, TA 50 series, and TM81) of Streptococcus thermophilus. High acidifying power particularly adapted to pizza cheeses and mozzarella applications. STAR...

RA series is a rapid-acidifying mesophilic/thermophilic blend for semi-hard, semi-soft and fresh cheeses including cheddar, Colby, feta, chevre. Due to the thermophilic strain in this blend, it is a rapid acid producer sometimes preferred over the MA...

This culture is used as an adjunct primarily for the eye formation, aroma and flavor production in Swiss-type cheeses. Used along with thermophilic or mesophilic cultures for cheeses where characteristic eyes and propionic flavor compounds are desired...

M Series is a selected single strain of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis. It is a highly concentrated, direct-set, fast acidifying culture for manufacture of American-style and other semi-hard cheeses. Bacteriophage rotation available: M58, M60, M61,...

A blend of individually selected strains of cultures for the production of fermented milks such as drinkable yogurt and kefir. This product is NOT kefir grains. CONTAINS:Streptococcus thermophilusLactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricusLactobacillus...

Mesophilic aroma culture used as adjunct with other mesophilic cultures (such as MM series) to enhance the flavor in fresh cheeses and soft ripened cheeses such as Brie/Camembert, Chevre, Blue. This culture is not typically used alone (it is a slow acid...

Concentrated lactic acid bacteria blend for direct inoculation into milk; frozen, concentrated pellets for use in mesophilic cheese applications such as cheddar varieties, Colby, Monterey Jack, blue and feta. Mac 70 series cultures work well in all...

Often referred to as the "farmhouse culture," MA 4000 series is a very versatile culture blend used for a variety of soft to hard cheeses with all types of milk. This culture is a unique blend of primarily mesophilic lactic acid cultures, plus a...

MA culture, a blend of two mesophilic lactic acid cultures, is a culture commonly used to make Cheddar, Colby, Monterey Jack and Cottage Cheese. This culture is used where only lactic acid production is desired. This blend does NOT contain gas-producing...
