Hi Lisa, it depends where in the world you are. Cultures are available on Amazon, but you can also just Google search for cheese making supplies and your area and you should get options come up. Let me know if you need further help tracking a supplier down as I have contacts I can put you in touch with.

Hi Danny. You can certainly try this method, though how much cheese to add, and how true to flavour and texture it will end up is the big question. If you are a new cheese maker I would start by using store bought cultures first so you understand the processes and likely outcomes of making blue cheese. And then, when you’ve got that in hand, try making it with your own cultures.

We’d love to hear how you get on.

I am interested in making a blue. Could I not simply add blue cheese crumbles from my favorite blue to introduce the roqueforti?

Hi Monique

What cheese are you making? I may be able to give you some guidelines once I know that.

So I am lost. Do you know how I can find out what the dosage for the chr-hansen cultures is? Tried googling and so far haven’t found anything.

Hi Ali

I have recently added a post about making your own cultures, but from pre-purchased starter cultures.

Can you get your hands on ANY starter culture, just to get going?

If not, there are recipes online for making cultures from scratch but many people find the results are somewhat unpredictable.
