Details
Calcium Chloride is used with store-bought milk and goats milk to give a firmer setting curd for easier cutting in the making of hard cheeses. The heat treating process most commercial milk goes through decreases the amount of calcium leading to a less firm curd. The natural homogenization of goat milk also leads to a less firm curd.
Each 2 oz. bottle contains enough Calcium Chloride to treat 96 gallons of milk.
Store in a cool, dark place.
Note: Do NOT use Calcium Chloride when making Mozzarella. It will keep the curds from stretching.
