Cheese Starter Cultures

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

The culture provides fast lactic acid production and high phage robustness without any CO2 production (homofermentative).

The culture is primarily applied in the production of semi-hard, hard and very hard pressed cheeses with a closed texture and a min cooking temperature at 35°C (95°F).

Examples of applications are Cheddar, Cheshire, Colby, Monterey Jack, Munster, Fontal, Raclette & Saint Paulin.

Multiple mixed strain Mesophilic Aromatic Culture, type D.

The culture produces aroma and CO2.

The culture is primarily applied in the production of soft cheeses (stabilized soft cheeses, specialties) and fermented milk.

The culture can be used alone or more frequently in combination with mesophilic or SSC cultures to enhance the milky and fresh taste.

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.

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).

Mesophilic aromatic culture, type LD.

The culture produces flavor and CO2.

This range provides cultures with fast acidification properties at a low inoculation rate.

The culture is primarily used in the manufacturing of Continental semi-hard cheese varieties with eyes, e.g. Gouda, Edam, Leerdam and Havarti.

Mesophilic aromatic culture, type LD.

The culture produces flavor and CO2.

This range provides cultures with fast acidification properties at a low inoculation rate.

As a principal rule 1000 U of freeze-dried DVS cultures will correspond to 100 l of active bulk starter.

However, specific usage rates should be determined experimentally before a new application.
