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.
Questions on Mesophilic Direct Set Culture
- From Miranda at 2/6/13 4:00 AM
- I'm unable to get raw milk on Oahu. Is it possible to make a soft cheese with this culture from pasteurized, homogenized milk ("store-bought" milk from the cold dairy case)?
- This culture will work well with store-bought homogenized, pasteurized milk however, ultra pasteurized (UP) or ultra high temp (UHT) milk would be problematic.

This is a very versatile culture. I made a farmers cheese for a customer and she said it was the best she tasted in 30 years of perogi making. (Posted on January 10, 2013)Price Value Quality
