Kashkaval Starter
£2.19 – £9.99
Our Kashkaval starter makes a traditional Bulgarian kashkaval cheese indigenous to Bulgaria with unique very specific taste, soft texture and a great aroma.
Kashkaval is a type of soft yellow cheese indigenous to Bulgaria. It is very similar to the cheddar types of cheeses but has a very specific taste and a great aroma thanks to the presence of lactobacillus bulgaricus lactic acid bacteria.
Our Kashkaval starter is made and package in Bulgaria. It is fully natural and organic with no preservatives, additives, artificial colors or flavors. It contains no GMO ingredients and it is soy and gluten free. Halal. Kosher.
Making Kashkaval is relatively easy (see the steps here), although it requires a bit of aging for it to develop its very particular and defining flavor.

Live active lactic acid cultures (lactobacillus bulgaricus, streptococcus thermophilus, lactococcus lactis, lactococcus helveticus).
1 gram of starter contains more than 25 billion cfu of lactic acid probiotic bacteria strains. 100% potency guaranteed.
Storage
Store the starter packs in FREEZER.
Use entire package at once.
The starter packs have 2 years of shelf live.

Nutritional Facts
Usage
The packs are packaged and labeled with the grams they contain and the volume those grams make when used entirely in one go.
The packs are intended for single use, or their contents could be split for multiple use (with the exception of the Sourdough starter which should always be used in one go).
When you split the pack, take out as much as you need to make your yogurt, then reseal and refreeze the remaining starter for later. Make sure you store the sachets in a way that prevents moisture from getting in, i.e. well closed in a Ziploc bag or wrapped around and fastened with a rubber band.
When you split the contents of the pack and use less starter amount to make smaller volumes, keep in mind that you are also reducing the total amount of yogurt that you can make from the pack (read more on that here). Refer to this page to see the gram to Liters (gallons) chart and to find out how much starter to use for different volumes of milk.

I love Bulgarian yoghurt because I believe it to be the best and purest in The World.
I eat it because of it’s health giving properties .Also , it’s an enormously good soloution to my stomach problems when they occur.
When you have tasted this particular to kashkaval you don’t want to eat commercial ones ( especially the sugar soaked ones!).
I suppose making my own yoghurt appeals as I love do D.I .Y.
