Product Description

What are starter cultures for sausages?
Starter cultures are freeze-dried bacteria that you use in making your own dry sausages such as chorizo, fuet, salami and countless other dry sausages. They provide safety by acidifying your meat (i.e. lowering the pH) and they give your sausages their distinctive cured and ripened flavor. You always use them together with nitrite salt (curing salt), dextrose and sometimes nitrates. They roughly come in 3 variants: fast, medium fast and slow. Bactoferm Safepro Flora Italia LC is recommended for the production of fermented sausages with a fast acidification.
What are bioprotective cultures
Bioprotective cultures provide extra safety because they contain micro-organisms that, in addition to fermenting your sausages, work forcefully against pathogens. These cultures are of particular interest to the home producer who lacks access to tools to measure pH or other labequipement. The Bactoferm SafePro ® range covers startercultures that help develop a positive eco-system that will improve food safety and/ or potentially extend shelf life.
