Chr Hansen's tailor-made Feta culture

摘要

Chr Hansen's DVS White-Classic culture offers producers of both classic Feta and non-PDO feta the classic flavour and texture consumers are looking for, the company says. Via thorough strain selection and production validation, Chr Hansen has developed DVS WhiteClas-sic culture to match Greek Feta's balanced round flavours and creamy texture, while ensuring consistency and control. "In 2011, we set out to find new bacterial strains that could deliver the classical characteristics when produced with either sheep milk or cow milk, while complying with technical requirements", says Jeorgos Trihaas, principal scientist at Chr Hansen. "The DVS WhiteClassic culture range is able to control the acidification speed, and the low post-acidification maintains moisture and flavour characteristics throughout shelf life." It is a culture blend of selected thermophilic strains: Lac-tobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. The strains offer strong phage resistance in Feta and white cheese production.
