Penicillium Candidum (white mold) is used to ripen and flavor Brie, Camembert, Coulommiers, and a variety of French Goat Cheeses. It produces a nice, white bloom on the surface of your cheeses. It is highly recommended to use this in combination with Geotrichum Candidum, which helps prevent the skin from slipping off your finished cheese.
YIELD: This pack will do approximately 750 gallons when added directly into your milk.
DIRECTIONS: For the home cheesemaker using 2-4 gallons of milk, simply add 1/16 teaspoon of this to the milk at the same time you add culture. Also, just a pinch of Geotricum will help to develop a great rind.
When making larger batches of 50 gallons or more it is more economical to add the mold powder to 1qt of water with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in an atomizer, rehydrate for 16 hours and then spray the new cheese surface. Store the atomizer in the refrigerator and it will keep for up to 60 days.
STORAGE: Store in the freezer. Mold powder will last up to 2 years when stored properly.
This mold powder is Kosher (circle U and D).
