Description
Bactoferm Mold-600 (formerly M-EK-4 ) is a starter culture which produces a white/light grayish appearance on the surface of molded dried sausages. It also has a well pronounced mushroom flavor and aroma. With high humidity and optimum temperature, the culture is fast growing, and produces a dense, short white surface coverage with an even appearance (typically found in France).
The culture promotes a traditional white mold cover. Moderate to good ability to control the surface flora and suppress the growth of undesirable organisms such as indigenous molds, yeasts and bacteria.
It gives an authentic white mold layer on your sausages or other charcuterie.
Culture Compositions
Penicillium Nalgiovense
Usage (Click here for pdf)
One pouch of freeze-dried culture is mixed into 1-2 liters of tap water at approximately 20°C (68°F) and equilibrated for 2hours at room temperature. The suspension is diluted in the relevant amount of tap water and is then ready for use.
Chlorinated water might reduce the activity of the culture.The mold is inoculated after the stuffing (and eventually acclimatization process), either by dipping or spraying or shower. The spore suspension should be stirred continuously to prevent settling of the spores, and the suspension should only beused on day of preparation (danger of yeast contamination).

I cased my sausage on Saturday and brushed the mold on and by Tuesday the mold growth was visible and by Wednesday it was fully going. I’m really happy with this product.

I have been ordering from here for 4 years. I could not be more happy with the service and the products. The customer service is excellent.
I wish every company I deal with, were as good as the sausage maker co.
