## Description

desertcart.com: Cultures for Health Buttermilk Starter Culture | DIY Buttermilk, Sour Cream, or Butter | Heirloom Starter Cultures at Room Temperature | Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Rich in Probiotics for Digestive Health : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: Worked just like they said - I’ve had no problems culturing this buttermilk so far. Even the first batch from the starter came out fine, though I did let that one wait longer than the other batches. I bring the milk up to room temp, about 70 degrees, but no warmer than that. I thought the milk cold from the fridge would slow the process too much. Even in my cool kitchen, the buttermilk only takes about 8-10 hours to get nice and thick, pleasantly tangy. You only need to save 1/4 cup of the buttermilk from last week to add to a quart of fresh milk, and you have a fresh new batch. And you can keep doing it over and over. Update: the buttermilk was very enjoyable for the first few times, but it kept getting thinner and thinner. Since I enjoyed it thick, but not so thick as yogurt, it was becoming disappointing and I stopped. No changes from the first few cultures…temps and culture times were the same, just the results became disappointing. I will try again with the second packet once I am ready for another round, but it is a toss up on whether this is worth the cost since I do have to buy milk, and I NEED to make it every week to keep the culture fresh. Store bought is more expensive than milk, but I only buy when I am ready to use it.
Review: Great buttermilk starter - Great quality! Have kept the same buttermilk going for over a year!

## Features

- VERSATILE: Includes 2 packets of starter culture. You can culture milk into buttermilk or cream into butter, and you can use finished buttermilk to make sour cream as well!
- HEIRLOOM STYLE: Simply reserve ¼ cup of buttermilk from previous batch to culture the next one, and you'll essentially have a limitless supply. To keep the culture strong, make a new batch at least once per week.
- MESOPHILIC STARTER: No finicky temperatures to monitor while your buttermilk cultures! At a balmy room temperature of 70-77°F, it will easily culture on your countertop.
- NEXT LEVEL BAKING: Buttermilk is perfect for a wide array of recipes, from fluffy buttermilk biscuits to pancakes to scones and beyond. Also a great ingredient for marinades, salad dressings, and even smoothies!
- HEALTH BENEFITS: Cultured buttermilk is probiotic rich, promoting stronger gut health. This culture is also non GMO and gluten free. Plus, all of our cultures are tested for safety before making their way to you.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can someone describe the flavor?  is it tart, sour, mild, buttery-flavored, etc?  how does it compare to kefir or greek, bulgarian, and other yogurts?**
A: Buttermilk is creamy and tastes sour and tangy, it is similar to plain yogurts. True buttermilk is the liquid leftover from making butter, it is great as a replacement for cream or milk in any recipe.

**Q: Which different kinds of bacteria is found in this starter?**
A: I think you have to go to manufacturers web site.

**Q: How much milk is used per packet of culture?**
A: A quart. Then you save the other packet. You use a tablespoon of the buttermilk for the next batch.

**Q: Can this be used with raw milk?**
A: Yes, we make it with raw whole milk. Comes out great. Instructions say to heat milk to 190F first...cool yo room temp then add the starter...leave out st room temp for 24 hrs...then ready to use

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great buttermilk starter
*by S***E on February 9, 2026*

Great quality! Have kept the same buttermilk going for over a year!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Took 40 hours to set. Mild flavor
*by B***H on April 22, 2025*

This culture took about 40 hours to set up. The culture didn’t mix well. I had to stir for a long time despite heating and cooling the milk. The buttermilk has a strange mouth feel almost gelatinous. It was tangy but mild. I love that you can save and re-culture within a week. If future batches change I’ll re post an update.
