FOOD SAFETY MATTERS
Milk kefir testing example; not a test of this culture.
A MOM'S REASON. OUR STANDARD SINCE 2002.
Cultures for Health was founded in 2002 by a single mom who wanted to feed her children the best food she could.
That care still shapes what we make. Food-safety testing is a meaningful investment, and one we keep making for the families who bring our cultures home.

FROM MILK TO SOMETHING YOU MADE.
A reusable starter and a little milk bring homemade buttermilk to your kitchen.
Pour 1 quart of pasteurized milk into a glass or plastic container and add 1 packet of starter culture; mix well. Avoid ultra-pasteurized or UHT milk.
Cover and culture at 70°-77°F. Check after 24 hours. If it has not set, leave up to 48 hours, checking every few hours.
Once it has set, or at the end of 48 hours, cover with a tight lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Reserve ¼ cup for culturing the next batch.
