This is a fast growing very dense white strain of Penicillium candidum mold culture that produces a medium cowshed aroma and garlic flavour. It is an essential ingredient in the ripening process of white mold cheeses for its role in colouring the surface of the cheese, and contributing to the flavor and texture, as well as protection against contaminants.  It works particularly well when paired with Geotrichum candidum at a ratio 4:1.  It grows from a minimum temperature of around 5 degree Celcius with an optimum range of 20 to 30 degrees Celcous.  This is a CHR HANSEN product.
