Starter cultures and protective cultures

Starter cultures are usually mixed cultures from highly specialised bacterial strains. In the complex system of raw sausage, they perform numerous tasks. They de-acidify the sausage, ensuring an intense curing colour and the typical flavour of raw sausage. Together with the PRIMAL® raw sausage maturing agents, VAN HEES starter cultures and protective cultures offer package solutions that ensure an optimum maturing process.
