Experiment using different strains on your homemade cheese and see the differences in color. You'll want to age these cheeses away from other cheeses, to keep any cross contamination controlled.

Definitely more mild
Posted by K. Rowe on 17th Mar 2019
I have a much stronger b.linens and didn't realize it was DV, and I had sprayed it on a cheese- it did very little. Got this and within a couple of days, a nice rosy orange hue started to cover the cheese. Aroma wasn't too strong, and it did a nice job softening the cheese.

Magic Service!

I've only had this product for a week so cannot vouch for its efficacy, however it is an excellent brand so I have no worries there. What impressed me most about the order, however, was the excellent value for money and superb, personal service from Steve. Faultless - thank you!

Made yummy cheese
Posted by Jobe on 2nd Feb 2017
I added this product to my milk before making the cheese as well as to a brine solution to smear on the rind. The end result was a bright orange bacterial rind that had inside it a great cheese.

Worked great
Posted by Bill Hanks on 21st Feb 2016
I was having problems with the b linens that I got elsewhere. It just wasn't working properly. Then I ordered the SR3 strain from thecheesemaker.com and have been turning out some beautiful "stinky" cheese since.
