This salt for cheesemaking absorbs easily and contains no iodine. Iodine will kill the lactic bacteria in the cheese aging process, and lactic bacteria is important for proper aging of cheese.
If a fine grain salt is used in cheese making, it may dissolve too quickly, creating a high brine content near the curd surface which will impede the movement of salt into the cheese. If a coarse grain is used in cheese making, it will dissolve too slowly and not control culture bacteria activity. This salt disolves at the ideal rate for cheese making.
Read the Cheesemaking Resource Guide for lots of helpful information from Ricki Carroll (aka "the Cheese Making Queen") about the wonderful world of cheesemaking!
“Finding Pleasant Hill Grain online was like the cavalry galloping over the hill, bugles blaring, to save the day! Good beans, free shipping (if I remember right), reasonably priced. It doesn't get any better.”
