About This Product

PENICILLIUM ROQUEFORTI Blue Cheese Mold

Make hundreds of your own blue cheese at home with a properly stored packet of Penicillium Roqueforti.

Each direct set freeze-dried packet comes in 10 doses or 2D packets  (repackaged) for easy hobby and home usage without the hefty commercial price tag.

Vegans: Choose the PRB6 strain. The other strains contain lactose and are not Vegan.  ORDER LARGE Bottle PRB6 on this separate link, or Small Bottle PRB6 with this link.

Each of these strains of Penicillium Roqueforti culture create a different texture and taste in the penicillium cheese. Choose between the following:

  • PS has a medium-fast growth rate, a mild blue taste and a blue-green color. Sometimes used in conjunction with penicillium candidum (especially HP6).
  • PA Strain has a piquant aroma, extended shelf life, medium-fast growing rate and slightly tough consistency. Used to make mild Blue cheeses such as Roquefort and is a great choice for hard blue cheeses. 
  • PV GF (Gluten Free) Strain grows quickly and has a creamy consistency, strong tolerance to salt and a piquant aroma. Make Blue cheese including Roquefort, strong Gorgonzola and Danablu. 

Makes over 20 Batches of Blue cheeses using 1-2 Gallons milk

HOME USAGE:

Use  1/32nd 1tsp for small 1-2 gallon batches

Use 1/16th tsp. 2-5 gal (3.75litres-19liters) of milk.

    Love the handwritten thank you note in every order. Great that you have vegan options. Vegan camembert worked great, I'm making vegan blue cheese now... I'm sure it'll work great too!

    Great Vegan Product

    Posted by anthony on 16th Jul 2019

    i'm very happy there is a vegan version of this product. each 6 ounce wheel of cheese only requires 1/16th teaspoon of liquid, so it goes a very long way.

    PR mold

    Posted by Jay on 23rd Apr 2018

    Realy don't know yet, as the cheese is still aging. But it did develop a good blue pretty fast. So we will see.

    good product but lacks important info

    Posted by Unknown on 5th Mar 2017

    Since this is a rather expensive product, I appreciated finding it in a small size package. The mold - to my surprise - came in a double Ziploc, which looked very different from the misleading larger size packaging in your pictures. Moreover, it did not provide any info about production date nor best before date nor lot #, etc. Not very professional. That said, my aging Fourme d'Ambert is showing blue. Note from Steve/TheCheeseMaker: We take reviews seriously, wanting to always improve our service. We have now added the photos of the smaller package suitable for the hobbyist cheesemakers. Since this type of product only comes in the larger size. We repackage it for our customers at a much lower cost. And you'll only need a very very small amount, thus we include a usage rate on the packets. The repackaging doesn't allow a Lot number or date of mfg, yet you can be assured all our inoculants are very fresh and we'll never offer any outdated ingredients.
