It produces a distinctive butter-like flavor and open texture, ideal for soft and semi-soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, Gouda, and Feta. Trusted by cheese artisans for consistent, authentic European-style cheese making. ## Description This is the mesophilic culture to use for a more pronounced butter like flavor and a somewhat more open texture For use in soft ripened, and fresh cheeses such as: Chevre, Cream Cheese, Brie, Camembert, Gouda, Edam, Blue, Feta, and Havarti. This culture contains the 2 primary cultures of MA011 but the diacetylactis will produce CO2 and a butter like flavor/aroma. Cheese made with this culture will be somewhat more open in texture and in a cheese such as gouda will provide the desired, small round holes. Contains: (LL) Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (LLC) Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris (LLD) Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis WHAT IS DCU? A DCU is a proprietary measurement which is neither a weight nor a volume. Instead, it is a measure of the bacterial activity contained within the entire packet, since creameries and commercial cheese makers use these packets in their entirety. A 50-DCU packet of a given lot today could weigh, for example, 14 grams, but tomorrow's lot with the same DCU value could weigh 17 grams. The entire packet as a whole will have a consistent total amount of activity. Home cheese makers only use a very small portion of the packet at one time and must slightly over-inoculate anyway; therefore, this DCU measurement and its subtle variability between won't affect your homemade cheese. ## Features - The 50 DCU packet will set between 25-50 gallons of milk - The mesophilic culture to use for a more pronounced butter like flavor along with your favorite Rennet. - Choozit freeze dried DVI Cultures: Made in France - Best culture to use for European or Irish butter. - Favorite for Cream Cheese, Brie, Camembert, Gouda, Edam, Blue, Feta, Havarti and Chevr ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01K8V8G9C | | Best Sellers Rank | #250,409 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #203 in Cheese Makers | | Brand Name | Choozit Cultures | | Color | Yellow | | Container Type | Pouch | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (74) | | Flavor | Butter | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Weight | 0.01 kg | | Model Number | MM100DCU | | Package Size Name | 50 DCU | | Part Number | 4335996703 | | Size | 3 Tablespoons | | UPC | 606825960071 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Choozit Cultures - **Flavor:** Butter - **Item Form:** Powder - **Package Weight:** 0.01 kg - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Mesophilic Culture MM100, 3 Tablespoons - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UCXYtpNrL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How much do you use for 2 gallons of milk that normally uses a packet?** A: Depending on the cheese you are making it varies from 1/4 tsp. - 1/2 tsp. Please note that tablet rennet is not included in this as this is true culture. You will need to add rennet. I prefer our microbial, sold on here as well. Feel free to reach out to me for any recipe help. Happy Cheese Making, Paula **Q: I'm looking at making 1 quart batched os sour cream...how much mesophilic would I use?** A: I would 1/4 tsp. Culture should be plenty. Best, Paul **Q: Will this product lose potency if shipped during hot conditions?** A: It remains stable, however, once opened it should be stored in a freezer. **Q: How long to culture for creme fraiche before adding rennet?** A: Hi, I don’t actually use this or rennet in my Creme fraiche. I use cultured buttermilk but if you want to use this, it would take about 1/4 tsp. per 2 cups heavy cream. Warm milk in a water bath to 70 degrees F, add culture or cultured buttermilk. Let sit room temp for 24 hours, stir gently and refrigerate. I actually make it in a quart mason jar so I can just store it in that as well. I cover the top of the jar with a coffee filter and band while making then fully cap when done.
