WHY A Penicillium candidum (P. camembertii)

IN LIQUID FORM?

Lallemand Specialty Cultures (LSC) continues to bring solutions to the cheesemakers with the launch of its very first Penicillium candidum (P. camembertii) in liquid form.

VELV-TOP® PC L1 is the first commercial product resulting from the “Liquid Cultures’ Program,” an extensive Research and Development program started in 2019 with the aim to offer an even more flexible and functional range.

Specially developed for soft bloomy-rind cheeses, VELV‑TOP® PC L1 is based on a single strain of Penicillium candidum, carefully selected for its properties:

  1. Thin, velvety and white surface,
  2. Low proteolytic and lipolytic activities that deliver light flavor notes,
  3. Applicable to a wide cheese range thanks to its neutral profile,
  4. High viability of the strain ensuring a shelf-life of at least 4 months when stored at + 4°C.

VELV-TOP® PC L1 complements the already wide LSC range of Penicillium candidum for the production of soft bloomy-rind cheeses. Either freeze-dried or liquid form, LSC cultures are homogeneous and stable to ensure consistent cheesemaking. They are produced using the highest quality and food safety standards.
