Description
- GC41 produces a short white mould like mycelium
- Geotrichum provides rapid deacidification of the surface of the curd and the enzymes produced by the Geo are an aid to the ripening of the cheese
- It provides rapid deacidification of the surface of the cheese to support rapid growth of other ripening cultures such as Penicillium Candidum and Brevibacterium
- Its rapid growth assists in reducing potential contaminants
- It contributes to the global aroma of the cheese through the production of typical flavours and improves the appearance of the rind of the cheese
Additional information
- Geo provides rapid deacidification of the surface of the cheese to support rapid growth of other ripening cultures
- Its rapid growth assists in reducing potential contaminants
- It contributes to the global aroma of the cheese through the production of typical flavours and improves the appearance of the rind of the cheese
- You only have a small volume. Follow the dosage directions; adding more than you require will not provide any benefit
- Adding at least one Geo variety to white mould cheese is an optional cheesemaking practice that generates a greater diversity of flavours. When adding more than one variety, the dosage of each variety of Geo should be reduced
- This Geo can also be used on white mould and lactic curd cheeses. The Geo is especially important in this case as the curd has extra acidity that needs to be neutralised before the white mould can grow
- Geo is sensitive to salt. For this reason, the Geo is usually added to the milk (recommended) but can also additionally be added to the brine or sprayed onto the cheese after dry salting. For spraying onto the surface, white mould + Geo can be added 0.9% brine solution (9 g salt added to 25ml of boiled cold water) in a spray bottle and lightly misted over the cheese. Do a 2nd misting a few hours later
