RE: Beginner cheese maker - Feta cheese
Dear what happend if i do not have near of me
Mesophilic bacteria
Could i uses some natural bacteris or replacement for example a lemon or i do not ????
I asking you because some times this bacteries are very rarely to get in our countries for example in Central America.
I think it is possible to relay on some natural bacteria but the outcome can go both ways, either be really good or really bad. In the past people didn't use any specially selected strains of bacteria they simply used raw milk (together with its natural bacteria) and the rennet from the cow and they made successful cheeses but the problem is they also made some very bad cheeses if some unwanted bacteria strain got into the milk. So I think the best substitute would be to use yogurt with the live probiotic bacterial cultures. This in theory should provide bacteria that shouldn't spoil the cheese. But I have not tried to make it in this way so I can not say for sure that it will work. If you try to make cheese with some alternative method let me know. I would love to learn it as well :)
Thank you so much here only uses a lemon or a pills name pillsbof milk maybe this is the bacteria but i do not know how the yogurt could wok maybe in the future i will try to dothank younfor the idea
