  • Candida utilis + Staphylococcus Xylosus for flavour development within the paste and the surface of the cheese

Benefits of using MA02

·       The cultures metabolise galactose and not lactose to enhance the flavour development and reduce aging time

·       These four cultures will produce numerous flavour and aromatic compounds including fruity-yeasty flavours but also some earthy savory/umami flavour

·       They will produce some of the flavours found in Normandy Camembert, Comte, Beaufort, Parmigiano Reggiano and Gruyere

·       Breakdown/softening of the body of the cheese during aging

·       MA02 can be used independently or in conjunction with white mould, Geotrichum, blue moulds and all Aroma and Ripening Cultures for a more complex flavour profile

Cheesemaking

Thank you for Your Interest in a Cheesemaking Course

Making cheese prior to the course is not essential but it is very strongly recommended. I have found that over many years of providing cheesemaking courses, having some basic cheesemaking experience before you get to the course is an enormous help with taking in the information provided at the course.

To help you start to make cheese at home, there are several kits available, starting from $60 plus postage. Each kit has detailed instructions so that you can easily make lots of cheese in your own home, without having made cheese previously. See the range of available kits here. You can easily add to the kits once you have completed the course.

As an incentive to start making cheese, I am offering you a 5% discount on the price of any of the kits (excluding postage) - Just add the kit to your cart and use the code KIT at the checkout.
