Discover the secrets of artisanal cheese makers with Bacterium Linens Cheese Culture. This unique blend of naturally occurring bacteria is specifically designed to produce red mould or ripening on cheese, adding a distinctive depth of flavor and complexity.
As you age your cheese, Bacterium Linens will slowly break down the lactose and other sugars, producing compounds that contribute to the characteristic red-brown colour and developed flavours. This process typically takes several weeks to several months, depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, and type of cheese.
The bacteria are highly tolerant of temperature fluctuations and can be cultured in a wide range of environments, making it an ideal addition to cheese makers' recipes. By using Bacterium Linens Cheese Culture, you can create artisanal cheeses with a distinctive red mould or ripening that will set your products apart from mass-produced varieties.
Whether you're a seasoned cheesemaker or just starting out, this unique culture is sure to elevate your cheese-making game and produce delicious results.
