Starter Cultures and Media from Danlac
The starter culture has crucial roles to play during all phases of the cheesemaking and maturation process. As the culture grows in the milk, it converts lactose to lactic acid. This ensures the correct pH for coagulation, in the press and in the final cheese curd. It also secures the final moisture level and yield in the cheese. During ripening, the culture enzymes have to give a balanced aroma, taste, texture, surface appearance and if required, eye formation.
Given the importance of the starter culture to the character of the final product and to production economics, it is vitally important to choose the right starter. We can supply virtually any specific need from our broad product range and we can work with you to customise a brand-new formulation.
