Description
MM100 is a very traditional lactic culture ‘all-rounder’ for many hard and soft cheese styles. The cultures it contains are:
- Lactococcus lactis subsp. Lactis
- Lactococcus lactis subsp. Cremoris
- Lactococcus lactis ssp Lactis biovar. diacetylactis
Lactococcus lactis ssp Lactis biovar. diacetylactis will provide additional diacetyl flavour (dairy/buttery flavour) plus produce a small amount of carbon dioxide gas production. The CO2 is seen by those few small eyes that form in the cheese.
Excessive acid production can be an issue with cultures containing Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and Lactococcus lactis subsp. Cremoris, so be careful with dosages, cut sizes, acid development in the curds and whey at both hooping and post hooping
