From Rebecca at 03/10/2023 1:28 AMDo I still use the calcium chloride when using this PF 55 coagulant?Hi Rebecca! Calcium Chloride is needed to help any rennet/coagulant work when using pasteurized milk. It can also be useful when using goat milk.
Thanks! -

The strength range on PF 55 is 850 - 898 IMCU/ml (so, slightly stronger than double strength).

From eric at 07/16/2017 4:35 PMwhat temp should cheese be stored at when using a rennet like pf55?Hello Eric!
Thanks for your question, when storing/aging cheese that contains rennet, a lot of your flavor will actually come from the cultures, and the enzymes in the rennet while the cheese is stored giving the cheese a more and more complex flavor profile as the months go by. In order to best monitor the growth of flavor typical storing temperature is between 40-45 Degrees F. However, some cheese makers accelerate the growth of flavor by storing it at a slightly higher temperature around 45-50 Degrees F. With this slight rise in temperature the enzymes and flavors become more active hence the acceleration in flavor. Temperatures over 50 Degrees F for semi hard cheese, like Cheddar, may create a bitter flavor as the cheese ages. Mild to medium flavor development will occur in 3-6 months for Cheddar. -
From Judy Rummel at 10/03/2016 11:45 AMDo you know when you expect the PF 55 supreme rennet to be back in stock?Hello Judy,
There is a shortage of the PF 55 in the market. But we are expecting to have it in by Friday 10/21.
If you need rennet sooner The Supreme Coagulant is very similar to PF 55, it is just not certified organic.
If you call the store we can put some on hold for you when it comes in.
Thanks and Sorry for the inconvenience.

From BZ at 07/03/2013 11:11 PMHow will u ship that product in Summer, since it needs to be refrigerated ???Hello,
We have done extensive testing of various culture blends here in our facility, and we are confident that culture products will arrive in good shape as long as it arrives within a week or so and is not subjected to very extreme temps for more than a few days. We suggest expedited, trackable shipping methods to ensure exactly that. If we think it's too hot or the product will be out on the road too long via your chosen shipping method, we will contact you to discuss other options. We have been shipping cultures across the country for more than a decade with very few problems. That said, we encourage our clients to place their cultures into the freezer upon arrival to help extend the long-term life of the cultures. Please let us know if you have any other concerns, and thanks!

I have used this rennet with much success and it lasts in the refrigerator a long time. I am still using a pint I've had for 10 months and it is working great; I love having a preservative-free version. -

Good microbial rennet that coagulates just like expected. I'm still fine-tuning my recipe and learning so I think that, although I've been using it as prescribed in GC recipes, I should reduce the amount used. It's double strength and I wonder if it's enzymatically digesting some of my cheddar "squeak" away. It's either a rennet or pH problem... I've got solid cheese that can be aged and I'm happy with the life of the product, two months after purchase and nine months pre-expiration.
