LAF 4 Swing Freeze-dried 10 u

Mesophilic aromatic culture, type LD.

The culture produces flavor and CO2.

The culture is primarily used in the manufacture of Continental cheese types (Gouda, Edam, Leerdam, Samsoe) and soft cheese types (Lactic cheeses, Camembert, Blue cheese).

Selected yeast strains with origin in traditional French cheese making.

SWING® LAF TRIO is a blend of defined yeast strains.

They have been especially selected for their ablity to prevents the growth of contaminant at the surface of the cheese.

The synergetic effect from the strains inhibits contaminant, e.g. blue molds and mucor.

Yeast cultures may be used in lactic curd, soft cheeses with washed surface and Continental cheese with natural rind.

Yeast cultures may be used in lactic curd, soft cheeses with washed surface and Continental cheese with natural rind.

The culture works in different ways:

• by generation a protective film on the cheese surface
• by allowing the consumption of residual sugars
• by accelerating the curd neutralisation.

Nisin, the active ingredient in Niseen®-S10, is a natural protective ingredient consists of several closely related polypeptides used to prevent spoilage and extend shelf life of various foods by inhibiting Grampositive spoilage and pathogens.

How to bring a soft curd with a bloomy mold rind to its optimum taste? How to get a creamy layer under the rind? When is it more appropriate to use static or ventilated refrigeration? How to inoculate a ripening cellar? How to make a smear?

So many questions which this practical guide aims to answer.

One of a kind, sometimes reference technical work and sometimes fieldwork, this guide provides concrete and pragmatic answers for all the big cheese families.

Written in simple language and accessible, it thus alternates general scientific knowledge, practical tips, implementation diagrams, testimonials from professionals, diagnostics, and defect resolution sheets... To those who want to embark on ripening, it will give the keys to understanding and reaction. To those who already practice this art where the sense of the observation is preponderant, it will bring new insights and will allow them to perfect their practice.
