At Moorlands we supply high quality cheesemaking equipment and supplies, with
our starter cultures being no exception. Our excellent selection of starter
cultures ensure that whatever variety of cheese you decide to make, it gets off
to a good start!
What are starter cultures?
The first stage in making cheese involves ‘ripening’ the milk,
converting the sugars (lactose) in the milk to lactic acid. Starter cultures,
which are basically strains of bacteria originally sourced during the natural
cheesemaking process, but now often grown in labs, control this process.
There are two main groups of culture, mesophilic that like moderate
temperatures and thermophilic, which react to warmer conditions, with each type
being bettersuited to specific cheeses.
We’re pleased to offer a wide range of starter cultures aimed at a broad
selection of popular cheeses, buttermilk and yogurt. Whether you’re looking for
something specific, such as a starter for Gouda, Mozzarella or Parmesan, or are
looking to purchase a handy starter kit containing multiple options, we offer
great choice. Just take a look at www.cheesemaking.co.uk/cheese-making-cultures
to view the options.
Remember, great cheese starts with a great culture!
