Cheese Starter Culture for Making Blue Cheese - Stilton + Gorgonzola

This is my go-to for making my Stilton Blue. No need for separate Rochforte to be added. It's all in there! My Stilton's get rave reviews from friends and family who like blue cheese. So this culture is simple-easy to use to make fabulous cheeses...the raw milk no doubt, contributes too!

Not much to say except that it makes a nice cheese.

Great little book, full of ideas and inspiration. Would not be without it. Read and re-read

I ordered this through Amazon, which doesn’t seem to sell this anymore, so I’m writing my review here. I got this to make cashew-based blue cheese using the Full of Plants recipe. I like that it’s complete, with both the bacteria and fungus, so I didn’t have to buy two different things. Shipping to the US was pretty fast, and the cultures survived the trip fine.

One of these five little packets is enough to culture three or four cups of raw cashews. It’s fun to see the blue mold blooming on the cheese. The resulting cheese is amazing, tasting almost exactly like dairy blue cheese, much better than any storebought vegan cheese I’ve tried. People used to dairy cheese like this just as much.

I’m not a strict vegan, so the tiny amount of milk in the culture doesn’t bother me, but I wonder if it could be made completely dairy-free for marketing to stricter vegans and people with serious dairy allergies.
