METHOD OF RIPEN
ING CREAM
(Continued from page 2).
F. to encourage the growth of the
lactic acid bacteria, until the milk
thickens. As soon as the milk thick
ens it Is ready for use, for at that
time the bacteria are most active and
the flavor Is best. The bottles are
all examined and the best one is used
for the mother starter. When, a
quantity Is needed for putting Into
cream, a small amount of mother
starter Is used to Inoculate a can full
ot scalded and cooled skimmed milk.
This Is set aside to ripen and Is then
added to the cream before the ripen
ing process begins. Skim milk la
preferred as a starter because the ab
sence ot fat seems to aid in the rapid
development of lactic acid bacteria.
Skim milk for a starter should be
heated to a temperature of 170 de
grees F. for about 20 minutes, then
cooled to 70 degrees F. and a small
amount of the mother starter added.
As soon as It Is thick It Is ready fot
use. If the right kind ot bacteria
are present It should have a mild acid
taste and leave no disagreeable aftei
taste.
It It Is desired to use a pure cul
ture of lactic acid bacteria, which can
be obtained from any dairy suppl)
house, the directions found on th
package should be followed In mak
Ing the mother starter, after which
the process Is the same as with the
natural starter.
The advantages ot using a starter
are: first, it makes It easier to get a
uniformly sour cream which can be
churned easier than sweet cream,
second, It makes a better flavored
butter than can be made from sweet
cream or from cream that has had no
starter, provided, ot course, that the
starter Is good; and third, it makes a
more uniform product.
