is this product vegan?

Hi Siobhan, No that culture contains lactose so can't be classed as Vegan friendly. We do sell a vegan version but only through our website. Thanks, Ben at cheese and yogurt making

Is this product suitable for vegans?

Hi Ann The manufacturers of these cultures won’t specify whether the lactose base is synthetic or derived from milk. But if you consider a tiny percentage of the culture is lactose and a tiny percentage of the finished cheese is actually the culture, the amount of culture in the finished product is negligible. With kind regards.

Top quality product.

Excellent fast ripening blue mould - used a couple of times now from these folks at GN. Always top quality product.

Not vegan

No mention that it has a lactose base. This is unacceptable as I was planning on using it to create vegan blue cheese.
