This bundle of Mesophilic Starters from Cultures for Health is perfect for anyone wanting to try culturing dairy for the first time, or fermenting pros looking to try something different. This bundle includes our Heirloom Yogurt and Mesophilic Cheese starter cultures; in total, you'll receive 4 packets of cheese starter culture, 2 tablets of vegetable rennet, and 1 packet each of our favorite Scandinavian yogurt strains: Matsoni, Piima, Viili, and Filmjolk. All of these yogurts culture right on your countertop, needing only a temperature of 70-77ºF, and the cheese will propagate best at temperatures up to 90ºF, as opposed to the much higher temperatures thermophilic cheeses culture at. This versatile cheese culture can be used to make many different types of cheese, such as traditional quark, Cheddar cheese, queso fresco, Colby, chevre, feta, and more. With multiple cultures, you can try some different things and experiment, making this set perfect for beginners. While the cheese culture is direct-set, meaning you can culture each batch once, this yogurt starter is heirloom-style, meaning you can use some of each batch to culture another, and keep it going indefinitely! This set also makes a great gift for anyone you know who enjoys cooking, DIY hobbies, or a healthy gut.
