starter help

Please can anyone point me in the right direction of where to obtain mesophillic starter from? this is the term used in the book (Making your own cheese) but I expect the name is simplified further down the line.

Cheers WW

sorry - I know this is a long way away, but it's the only one I know of off the top of my head....

You could try Ascots, they are in your neck of the woods in Wales. They have a lot of cheese making stuff.

Thank you both. I will try Ascots first and then see where we go.

Apparently buttermilk can be used instead. See:
