So, what is cheese % culture?

Cheese culture is a crucial ingredient in the art of cheese-making, and it refers to the blend of bacteria that transforms milk into cheese. These bacteria consume the natural sugars in milk, producing lactic acid and altering the texture, flavor, and aroma of the cheese. Cheese culture is typically added to pasteurized milk to kickstart the fermentation process and ensure consistent results. Different types of cheese cultures produce different varieties of cheese, from tangy and sharp to buttery and mild. Cheese culture is a must-have for any cheesemaker looking to create delicious, artisanal cheeses.
