    • I have gone vegan-gluten free. I am looking for cultures to make similar cheeses to put in my gluten free vegan cooking.
      Can this culture grow in soy milk, rice milk or almond milk to make a similar cheese?
      Thanks!
    • In short...not really. The problem is that nut milks are mostly carbohydrates and have very few solids (protein and fats) so they will ferment, but they won't separate. You can make a very nice soft cheese from coconut yogurt or kefir, though. Just use our dairy kefir grains (or a yogurt culture) and drain the whey. Super easy, and it tastes a lot like cream cheese.

    • Hi, I am vegan, and I was wondering if any animal products are used to make your cultures. I know it is entirely possible to obtain this culture without dairy, unfortunately I am unable to find source information for most cultures on any product website. Please let me know, I would love to begin experimenting with it! Thanks, Kaylin
    • The Penicillium Roqueforti cultures do contain a small amount of milk.
