STARTER CULTURES

Mozzarella Cultures

Besto Mozzarella Cultures combine the most critical features sought in industrial pizza cheese production: high melting capacity and a long fibrous structure. Our special strain combinations ensure ideal elasticity during the heating and kneading stages of the curd. Furthermore, they provide controlled galactose management, preventing unwanted browning on the cheese surface during baking.

Stretching and Elasticity:

The proteolytic activity provided by our cultures strengthens the network structure of the cheese, creating a homogeneous stretch and a texture that does not disintegrate in the mouth.
