Romano starters
« on: November 09, 2012, 06:12:08 PM »
Hi everyone

I am having a go at making Romano. I was wondering if any one had any recommendations about the best thermo starter to use.

I am making it with goats milk as well.

There is a culture mix called "su casu" that is for italian cheese makes such as romano.

Basically you can use plain yogurt as a starter or alternativly a dry culture like the TA60\61.   Lipase should also be used, espacially with working with heat treated milk to give "that" aroma and flavor.

Ta60 should always be used with L. helveticus like LH-100

I wouldn't think so...

One question regarding romano/parmesan starter...for a 3 gallon make, but 1/4 tsp of thermo be sufficient, provided the milk was 33% raw and 67% p/h milk?
