Cheese Starter Cultures

This Chr.Hansen culture system provides a complete line of customized blends designed for continuous use in direct vat set systems.

The cultures are selected for their ability to produce lactic acid quickly, their flavor and their phage resistance.

The culture is primarily applied in the production of cheeses with a closed texture, e.g. Cottage cheese.

Thermophilic lactic acid cultures.

This Chr.Hansen culture system provides thermophilic defined strains for continuous Direct Vat Set (DVS ) use by rotation.

The cultures are selected for their moderate lactic acid production and low post-acidification.

The culture is primarily applied in the production of soft cheeses where low post acidification is required, e.g. stabilized soft cheeses (Brie, Crescenza, Argentinean Port Salut) and modern Camembert types.

SSC cultures can be used alone (stabilized cheeses) or in combination with Mesophilic aromatic cultures (LD types).

Defined thermophilic culture blend with improved resistance to bacteriophages.

The culture is primarily applied in Pasta Filata cheese types e.g. Mozzarella and Pizza cheese types.

The culture can be applied alone or in combination with other lactic acid cultures, e.g. Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp.bulgaricus and Lactobacillus helveticus.

Mesophilic homofermentative culture, type O.

This Chr.Hansen culture range provides phage resistant defined strains for continuous Direct Vat Set (DVS) use.

This culture contains specially selected strains chosen for their phage resistance and ability to produce lactic acid quickly.

This culture does not produce CO2 .

This Chr.Hansen culture range provides a complete line of Kosher for Passover blends.

This Chr.Hansen EASY-SET® culture contains defined mesophilic and thermophilic strains and is for continous direct vat set use.

The strains are carefully composed to provide fast lactic acid production, extreme phage robustness and traditional (mesophilic) Cheddar flavor and texture development without any CO2 production (homofermentative).

The EASY-SET® A3000 program provides an unparallelled performance consistency between culture rotations.
