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.

- Do I need to purchase anything beyond these packets to make the cheese?
- It depends on the kind of cheese you wish to make. Most cheese recipes also call for rennet to coagulate the milk. Your recipe will instruct you about the type of culture to use as well as the need for rennet.

- I have a recipe for mozzarella that calls for 1/4 tsp of thermophilic culture to 4 quarts of milk. (it also calls for 1/4 tsp calcium chloride and 1/4 tsp liquid rennet). Will this culture work for this recipe or do recommend a different recipe for beginning mozzarella makers?
- I recommend our mozzarella recipe, of course! But that one will also work. :-)
