What is a Direct-Set culture?  Direct-Set cultures are a one-time-use culture, they cannot be recultured (i.e. perpetuated beyond the single batch).  Direct-Set cultures are often preferred by cheese makers as they require no maintenance or care.  Simply keep the packet in the freezer and remove the portion for your recipe when it's time to make cheese. Most Direct-Set cultures contain multiple doses to inoculate multiple batches.

Please note, this product contains both starter culture and rennet in each packet.

    • This starter culture lists the same bacteria that are listed in several other cultures (fromage blanc, Aroma B, etc) are these different strains? Different ratios? Is there any difference other than the addition of rennet?

      Thanks.
    • The chevre starter was cultured in goats' milk, so will work faster in goats' milk. Also, the chevre has a different ratio of bacteria, which makes a more strongly flavored cheese.

  • From Nicole at 5/1/12 3:12 PM
    • Can I use raw cow milk with these cultures to yeild a simliar cheese as made with goats milk?
    • This culture may also be used with cow's milk, which will produce a different flavor and slightly different texture, but you will still get a nice soft cheese.
    • Do you find this question helpful?  Yes   No
  • From Emma at 3/10/12 10:40 AM
    • Can I use less than one gallon of milk? Or mix goat milk with cow's milk?

      Thanks!
    • You can use less than a gallon, but the culturing time will be shorter. You can also mix milks for a very interesting, delicious cheese!​

Simple and Delicious Review by Melissa

This is simple. Add little packet to 1 gallon of goat's milk. A little bit of work. A lot of waiting...........and then deliciousness!
The cheese turns out tasting great (1 lb, 11 oz). Why try to buy the bacteria and rennet separate - when this is simple - and turns out great! (Posted on January 18, 2013)
