Geotrichum Candidum

Lyopro GC is a specially designed yeast/mold culture for ripening bloomy-rind cheeses. With weak to moderate proteolytic activity and weak lipolytic activity, it shows an average sensitivity to salt (NaCl). Used in conjunction with Penicillium candidum, it develops a short, white downy mycelium on the cheese surface.

Thanks to its ability to reduce bitterness and produce aromatic compounds (methyl ketones, alcohols, and free fatty acids), Lyopro GC helps build a rich, complex flavor and aroma profile. By breaking down lactic acid, it raises the cheese’s pH, promoting the growth of other essential ripening flora, such as corynebacteria.

Its rapid growth also prevents undesirable molds (like mucor or “cat hair” mold) from establishing, ensuring the quality of your homemade cheeses throughout the aging process.

Lyopro GC can be directly inoculated into the milk during cheesemaking or sprayed (diluted in sterile water) at the start of aging. Typically, we recommend using 1/128 to 1/64 teaspoon (using our mini measuring spoons) for cheese batches made from 4 liters of milk. It is often paired with Penicillium candidum for optimal results.
