This episode is all about starter cultures. There are two main types, Mesophilic and Thermophilic. But did you know that there are many different properties to these cultures. I attempt to explain these properties during the show.

The cheese news for this episode is titled Cheese business saves dairy. Kudos to Julian and Dianne Benson for saving their dairy farm during hard times and producing cheese with some of their milk. You can read all about it at http://www.stockandland.com.au/news/agriculture/livestock/cattle-dairy/cheese-business-saves-dairy/2663753.aspx
Cheese of the episode is Cream Cheese. You can find the YouTube video tutorial at this link: http://youtu.be/JW3NXgA2HYw.
Listener questions were about what is the process of drying after pressing but before waxing, where do I buy my cheese making supplies from, and what to do with oil after marinating feta.
Until next time curd nerds, Keep Calm and Make Cheese.
