never compromise on quality
Due to their fast make times and unmatured nature, soft cheeses require the freshest ingredients to achieve the best results. Chr. Hansen's exacting range or soft cheese cultures will help you craft uncompromising cheeses.
SOFT CHEESE TYPES
WHITE RIND CHEESES

SUITABLE CULTURES
ST-B01 – A slow-to-medium acidifying homofermentative thermophilic culture.
FLORA DANICA – A slow acidifying heterofermentative mesophilic culture giving high gas.
RIPENING CULTURES
FD PCA-1 – Gives a strong white mould (Penicillium candidium) with low proteolytic activity (cheese breakdown).
FD PCA-3 – Gives a stable white mould (Penicillium candidium) with medium proteolytic activity (cheese breakdown).
PC TT-033 – Gives a stable white mould (Penicillium candidium) with medium proteolytic activity (cheese breakdown).
PASTA FILATA / STRETCHED-CURD CHEESES
e.g. Mozzarella, Boccincini, Provolone, Kasseri, Asadero, etc.
SUITABLE CULTURES
ST-M5 – Homofermentative thermophilic (streptococcus thermophilus) culture giving fast acidification.
ST-M6 – Homofermentative thermophilic (streptococcus thermophilus) culture giving fast acidification.
ST-M7 – Homofermentative thermophilic (streptococcus thermophilus) culture giving fast acidification.
ST-M8 – Homofermentative thermophilic (streptococcus thermophilus) culture giving fast acidification.
TCC-3 – Homofermentative blended culture giving fast acidification.
