Non-traditional single-strain cultures boost cheese quality control
Many cheese buyers today are specifying cheese by individual characteristics, including moisture, protein, fat and residual sugar levels. Traditional cultures, however, have not allowed for such tight control over these parameters.
Until now, a single culture contained both strains of bacteria used to make cheese varieties such as Mozzarella, Swiss, Muenster, Parmesan and Provolone. The cheesemaker controlled his process to grow the proper ratio of Streptococcus (coccus) and Lactobacillus (rod) strains in order to achieve the desired cheese quality (melt, stretch and flavor).
