Royal DSM has launched new cheese culture Delvo Cheese CH-120, a range of phage robust cultures for young cheddar and barrel cheese. This new series aims to allow cheesemakers to increase production efficiency, whilst ensuring consistent quality, taste and texture during the long production runs demanded by today’s large, cost-driven cheese diaries. The Delvo Cheese CH-120 range consists of six rotations and carefully selected culture strains to resist phages. This new range offers excellent durable phage protection and a consistent performance. It also creates young cheddar and barrel cheese with the typical neutral flavour and firm, resilient texture of cheddar cheese that the market expects. “We designed the new DelvoCheese CH-120 cultures with cheese producers’ needs in mind,” commented Evandro Oliveira de Souza, business lead for Cheese at DSM. “We know that reliability, consistency and efficiency are essential to helping them produce high-quality, great-tasting cheddar cheeses faster and more effectively, while also prioritizing robust protection against phages.”
