Product Q&A

Q. Can this product be used with soy milk and vegetable rennet? Is it dairy free; I am allergic to dairy?

A. This product is designed for use with dairy milk. We would normally encourage experimentation but with a dairy allergy, I would encourage you to check out the wonderful non-dairy cheese recipes in this book: http://ift.tt/1hHrIPp


Q. Could this be used to make gouda?

A. Mesophilic Direct Set Starter can be used to make Gouda. Here is our Gouda recipe: http://ift.tt/1NAlue8


Q. How much cheese will this make?

A. The amount of cheese made depends on the recipe used. Most recipes call for 1 to 2 packets for 2 gallons of milk. 4 packets can be used to culture up to 10 gallons of milk. So one box of culture can be used to culture anywhere from 8 to 20 gallons of milk, resulting in an average yield of 8 to 20 pounds of cheese.
