DO YOU HAVE A PECORINO RECIPE?
PECORINO, a traditional Italian cheese made from sheep's milk, is celebrated for its rich, nutty flavour and firm texture. Whether you're producing a young, soft PECORINO or a mature, full-bodied wheel, choosing the right starter culture is key to achieving consistent quality and authentic taste.
Choosing the Right Culture for Your Maturation Process
1. For Cheeses Maturing 6 Months or less:
We recommend the Lyofast MOT Culture Range. This range ensures uniform ad controlled production of soft and semi-hard cheeses. It contains specifically selected strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp., Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, and Lactobacillus helveticus - ideal for developing balanced acidity and smooth texture.
* Store: -18 ºC or below (freezer, not refrigerator).
* Shelf-life: 18 months after production.
* Sizes: 10 UC, 25 UC and 50 UC packets (10 UC suitable for 1000 - 2000 L of milk).
2. For Cheeses Maturing Longer than 6 Months
Opt for Lyofast YHL 092 E, a culture designed for semi-hard and hard cheeses that develop a strong, nutty flavour over extended aging. For an enhanced flavour profile, we recommend adding a touch of lipase powder.
* Store: - 17 ºC or below (freezer, not refrigerator).
* Shelf-life: 18 months after production.
*Sizes: 10 UC and 50 UC packets (5 UC suitable for 1000 L of milk).
