Mascarpone Making - Texture Like Butter

[Gustav]

Hi there!

I made the cultured recipe, but it came out alot like butter, but more crumblier.
Our cream is very thick that we use. Should I mix it with milk for low cream mixture?

My first suggestion would be to add more cream in the initial batch or less ripening time, or less bacteria, or lessen the temperature.  Another solution could be to add cream after the fact.  Biggest thing is to keep track of the process and change only one thing or you may wind up with another issue and not know what change/s created the new issue, or fixed the original issue. 

And don't give up.
