Details

Propionic Shermanii produces medium to large eyes in Swiss style cheese such as Jarlsberg, Maasdam, Gruyere and Emmenthal.

Difference between PBF 01 and PBF2 (Note PBF 01 and PBF2 have the same eye development).
PBF 01 has medium fruity taste intensity development during the ripening.
PBF 02 has rich flavour production during the ripening with slight sweet and fruity notes.

It drives fermentation of lactate into propionate, acetate and CO2, resulting in the production of eye holes and in developing nutty and sweet flavours flavors.

It has resistance to high cooking temperatures, low post-acidification, and some resistance to salt.

The carbon dioxide by-product is responsible for forming the holes or ‘eyes’ in the cheese.

For direct inoculation into the cheese vat.

The use of Lactobacillus helveticus is recommended for hard cooked cheeses including eye cheeses.

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.
