Blue Mould Culture Blend Sachets 5 pack

Blue Mould Culture Blend is used for making Blue Cheese. This is a freeze dried mixed blend culture containing Penicillium Roqueforti AND Aromatic Mesophilic. So you no longer need to purchase Penicillum Roqueforti and Aromatic Mesophilic seperately.

Aromatic Mesophilic (YV32) is essential in creating the creaminess and buttery flavour in the cheese. Strains included in this culture are:

Each sachet sustains 4 Litres of milk.

Shelf life is 12 months when stored in the freezer. These mould spores last out of the freezer (at room temperature) for 2 months so will be fine during postage. However, we suggest storing them in the freezer as soon as you get them in order to prolong their life.
