All in one ‘Red smear cheese kit’

Make your own red smear or washed rind cheese. Can be used to make both pressed cheeses (such as Port du Salut, Reblochon) or soft cheeses (Munster, Taleggio).

Red smear cheese culture Brevibacterium linens is characteristic of smear-ripened, or washed rine cheeses such as Muenster, Brick, Limburger, and époisses.  Brevibacterium linens is also ubiquitously present on the human skin, where it causes foot odor. Consequently, these cheeses have a strong odor which some may consider stinky. Read more about Brevibacterium linens on Wikipedia.
