Calcium Chloride
Calcium Chloride is used when making cheese from homogenized, pasteurized or frozen milk to help restabilize milk structure and hasten curd set.
Calcium Chloride can also be used at certain times of the year, when firm curd is hard to obtain due to changes in animal diet and stage of lactation.
