Cooling package!

This culture came safely packaged and still feeling quite cool. It does need to be refrigerated right away. A definite must in cheese making.

Excellent Sour Cream!

I enjoy experimenting with and making homemade stuff. It's my understanding that this culturing material is really for making cheese, but can be used for making other stuff too. Like Cottage Cheese, cultured butter, etc. You don't even need fresh milk or cream to make things,(although I suspect the finished product will be better if you can get fresh dairy to start with). But you can make excellent things like sour cream just using the highly processed, (ie. Ultra pasteurized Milk and cream) from the grocery store. I find using any kind of REAL half&half ,(NOT the fat free half & half. I don't know what that stuff really is, but I doubt that it would work.) Anyhow, start out with a small carton of half & half or up to about a pint. It just depends on how much you want to make. For each half pint, add approximately, (I FIND IT ABSOLUTELY makes LITTLE difference how much culture you use.) 1 eighth to 1 quarter TEASPOON full of the culture. Mix them well and pour it into an appropriate size container. Place a piece of cheese cloth or dish cloth,( or anything else like that) over the container, (this helps the mixture to breath & keeps stray stuff from falling into it while its becoming sour cream. Also ,when choosing a container, keep in mind that you will need a lid to seal the container when the process is done.) So, find a warm place,( 80, 90, 100 degrees) to put the mixture, stirring gently with a fork, every 45+/- minutes, for the first 2 to two and a half hours. Then, JUST LEAVE IT ALONE, for about 24 to 36ish hours. (NO, IT WON'T SPOIL!)After that, take a fork and mix it up, put a lid on it, and store it in the fridge, just like the gloppy you buy at the store, that they pass off as sour cream. You know the ones I mean, like the one brand named after a flower. After trying your ridiculously easy to make sour cream, I think you'll find that national brand named after a flower tastes a kin to flour and water with a hint of vinegar. Enjoy yours, and have fun experimenting!

Good product

Great value and my cheese is delicious!!

You can buy this directly from the company BUT the free shipping is more economical. If you are ordering more from this company it might be better to buy direcly from them. PLUS they offer bargains if you are on their mailing list.Great value and my cheese is delicious!! I took a cheese and fermentation class at NWTC in Green Bay. SO FUN!! I now make soft and hard cheeses for my charcuterie boards. I make 2 wheels for each one I eat now.Amazon is a great source for all my needs.I don't know if you can check out all my reviews BUT I always shop for cost per ounce or each. Then read reviews to make sure a product is well liked. Enjoy your journey and Happy Cheese!!

Excellent

I like yogurt, I buy milk and often it goes bad without being used. I thought to use mesophillic bacteria to rescue milk that is towards its expiration date. Absolute genius. Turns milk into delicious sour yogurt similar in flavor to Greek yogurt, can use it for overnight oats or whatever. This is a Kitchen 101 ingredient, put the milk in a container, add the starter sachet, voila. I'll still use citric acid and rennet to make queso fresco, but if you otherwise just need say some sour cream, take a bottle of cream and add this - it will be superior to anything from a store.
