    Excellent Culture For Farmhouse Cheddar.

    Posted by Chris Kennedy on 4th Jan 2023

    Excellent Culture was very useful in creating a farmhouse style cheddar cheese and so far I like it and would use it again. Had been using a different culture from a different retailer but was not happy with that culture.
