Brevibacterium linens - The Urban Cheese Christchurch

$29.00 –

Brevibacterium Linens (BL) is used to ferment several washed rind cheeses such as Munster, Limburger, Tilsit, Port Salut, Raclette and others. It produces an orange/red mold that has its own flavour and aroma. It can be added to the milk with a starter culture, to the surface of the cheese by including it in a washing brine or spritzing on the surface of your cheese. We have the BLO strain from the FLAV-ANTAGE (R) range manufactured by Lallemand which is suitable for vegans as well as the BL-1 strain from the CHR Hansen range.

The BLO strain produces an orange surface colour with fruity flavour notes which is slightly sticky to the touch. The BL-1 strain produces an orange surface colour with mild cheesy flavour with well balanced light sulphured notes.

Each strain is available as a 2.5u tube which can be used for around 400 to 1,000L of milk depending on the cheese recipe.
