Colby Cheese Starter Culture
Colby is a semi-hard orange cheese made from rich and creamy cow's milk. This tasty treat is named after the charming city of Colby, Wisconsin, USA, where it was first developed in the year 1885 and quickly gained popularity among cheese lovers everywhere. Its unique texture and flavor make it a favorite for snacking, melting, and adding to a variety of dishes.
Colby cheese is fermented in a process that closely resembles that of cheddar cheese. However, instead of using the traditional cheddaring process, the whey is drained partially after the curd has been cooked to perfection. To enhance this delicate process, cold water is then added to decrease the temperature of the mixture, ensuring a texture and flavor that is uniquely Colby.
Traditionally, Colby cheese has an open texture characterized by irregular holes, and it is pressed into a distinctive cylindrical form known as a longhorn. The unique washed-curd process results in a delightful cheese with a wonderfully mild flavor profile, making it moister and softer than traditional cheddar cheese. Colby is typically used in a variety of delicious applications, including snacks, scrumptious sandwiches, and vibrant salads, making it a versatile favorite for many cheese lovers.

Directions: To get the best results, use approximately 1/4 teaspoon of the starter culture for every 1-2 gallons of milk, or if you're feeling ambitious, go for 1/2 teaspoon for 3-5 gallons of milk. When the recipe instructs you to add the culture, sprinkle it directly on top of the milk. Allow it a moment to rehydrate for about 1-2 minutes, which helps activate those fantastic probiotic powers, and then mix it all up thoroughly to ensure the culture is evenly distributed throughout the milk for maximum effectiveness!
