Cultures for Cheese

Chr. Hansen offers seven quality dairy culture lines for cheese making, covering a host of different cheeses: soft cheese, feta, cottage cheese, continental cheese, cheddar, pasta filata and emmenthal.

To meet special demands, such as good phage resistance in production or enhanced flavor, we offer specialized culture series such as SWING, Flavor Control and pHage Control cultures.

All of our cheese cultures come in convenient DVS (Direct Vat Set) form for direct inoculation in milk. DVS cultures need no activation or other treatment prior to use and offer a number of advantages in terms of flexibility of use, consistent performance and possibility of using customized culture blends.
