Yogurt and Kefir Cultures

ProTip
If you use some of the yogurt you made to inoculate the next batch, you will get a whole lot more batches out of these than the package states! Read how to do that here.

You can order our Bulgarian Yogurt Culture in single packages or 5-packs. Each envelope contains enough to inoculate 2 quarts (or liters) of milk.
Our Danisco ABY-2C Thermophilic Yogurt Culture makes a thicker, sweeter yogurt. The small jar contains enough culture to make 8 gallons of yogurt. The large bottle makes 300 gallons!
Foamy Kefir Culture

Cheese Cultures
The flavor of a cheese is determined by the type of culture used, the timing of each phase, and the temperatures called for in the recipe. We offer a variety of cheese cultures from different countries, including Canada, France and Italy. You can purchase any of these individually.
Culture Sampler Kit
Trying the different brands of cultures will help you find and make your favorite cheeses. If you’re feeling brave (or happen to have a lot of experience making cheese), you’ll love our Culture Sampler Kit, which includes the following:
- 6 cheese cultures you can use to make soft cheeses (like cream cheese, sour cream, quark, cottage cheese, fromage blanc, chevre frais, feta, and even cultured butter); semi-soft cheeses (like brick, Jack, farmer’s, Gouda); and even some of the hard cheeses (like mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and Romano)
- 1 packet of our favorite Bulgarian yogurt culture
- Lipase for creating sharper cheeses
- 2 yards of 90-count cheesecloth
