Title: Brie - Using Store Bought Brie As Culture Mix?
Post by: mariaricardo on June 30, 2010, 07:37:37 AM

I am wondering if I put a spoonful of Brie from a commercial package of cheese in my raw milk would it make a Brie?  Of course it wouldn't have a rind, but maybe it would have the flavor? Has anyone tried this?

This topic has recently come up a few times. Check out this thread  (http://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/topic,4116.msg31985.html#msg31985). In short, it's an iffy situation and there are a lot of factors involved, many of which are unknowns.
