Calcium chloride is an additive used with store-bought milk and goats milk to create a firmer setting curd for easier cutting when making hard cheese. The heat-treating process most commercial milk goes through decreases the amount of calcium leading to a less firm curd. The natural homogenization of goat milk also leads to a less firm curd.

1 oz. bottle.

Each bottle contains enough calcium chloride to treat 45 gallons of milk.

Usage Rate: Use as directed by your recipe or dilute 1/4 tsp. in 1/4 cup water for each gallon of milk.

Note: DO NOT use calcium chloride when making Mozzarella. It will keep the curds from stretching.

Store your bottle of calcium chloride in a cool, dark place.

When making cheese it is important to use salt that does not contain iodine. Iodine will kill the lactic bacteria in the aging process and it is the lactic bacteria that is important to the proper aging of cheese. Using flake salt is also helpful as it will dissolve more readily.
