Culturing wild diary lactic bacteria in pasteurized milk
Posted: Sat Jul 27, 2019 11:38 am
Hello,
I know that diary products are fermented thanks to a strain of lactic acid bacteria that is different than the one we find in legume / veggies ferments.
I've read Rachel's post on culturing milk with sauerkraut brine which seems to give it a bitter taste and would thus prefer using an appropriate culture.

So my question is, is it possible to cultivate these same strains using pasteurized milk ? In other words, is this same strain also present in the air ? Are alternative strains present in the air ? Or will I have to use non-pasteurized milk ?
Thank you in advance,
Have a nice day.
