How much culture or mould do I use?

Each sachet of culture or mould tells you how many litres of milk it will incubate. You need to use the appropriate amount of culture for the batch of cheese you are making. Cultures are not packed with a set weight or quantity but by the activity level of the culture itself. For example, if the sachet will inoculate 100 L of milk and you are planning to use 8 litres of milk, you will need 8/100’s or 1/12th of the sachet contents.

Dosing Cheese Culture:

When dividing the culture or mould down to a suitable dose, estimation is acceptable. Our Mini Measuring Spoons are a great tool to help you get some consistency from one batch of cheese to the next. Alternately, use the tip of a knife and measure by eye from your culture or mould placed in the sterile jar.
