It doesn't list content in grams. My only clue is Pack Size: 50U. The expiration date listed on mine is 10.2020 (pack date 10.2018), however it says it must be kept below -18c (0F) which in my case means it must be used SOON because I don't have anything that chills that far. **Q: Can I make cream cheese with this?** A: Yes. It’s a mesophilic culture, maybe just a bit more flavorful. If you go to New England Cheesemaking’s website (which is pretty much where most home cheesemakers will reference), they also state that it can be used in cream cheese. **Q: how does one open the bag and use just a bit then save the rest? is this possible?** A: Tap the packet so it all goes to the bottom. With clean scissors cut the top off, leave plenty to fold it over a few times. Using tiny measuring spoon measure out the amount you need. Fold the packet tightly and put into a ziplock freezer bag and put that in another ziplock freezer bag. Keep your culture clean and dry! Keep in the freezer. Look for tad, smidgen, dash and pinch measuring spoons. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mesofilic flora danica *by K***. on 15 May 2025* Is good product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by Y***N on 5 June 2022* I will order again for sure ## Frequently Bought Together - FLORA DANICA (AROMA TYPE B) MESOPHILIC CULTURE (50U- GOOD FOR 130 GALLONS)- IDEAL FOR BRIE, CAMEMBERT + CONTINENTAL CHEESES - Liquid Rennet - Animal Rennet for Cheese Making (2 oz.) - Calcium Chloride (CaCl) Liquid - 2 fl oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/292230693-flora-danica-cheese-starter-culture-50-dcu-mesophilic-aromatic-dvi](https://www.desertcart.us/products/292230693-flora-danica-cheese-starter-culture-50-dcu-mesophilic-aromatic-dvi) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
