What Is Culturing?

Cultured dairy combines milk or cream with a starter culture (also known as a mother culture), encouraging these beneficial organisms to proliferate and spread their probiotic goodness throughout the milk or cream.

The many variations on the basic culturing process determine whether you end up with sour cream, milk kefir, cultured butter, buttermilk, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese or any other cultured dairy food… including the cultured cream cheese recipe below!

Ingredients needed for making cream cheese: starter culture, cream, and small measuring spoons.

Ingredients

  • Cream – If possible, source raw cream from a dairy farmer local to your area. However, cream from the grocery store will also work in this recipe, as long as it isn’t ultra-high pasteurized. You can use heavy cream or cream that isn’t as heavy. The heavier the cream, the less whey will drip out after culturing.
  • Culture of choice – Choose a mesophilic cheese culture such as this one. Or, you can use buttermilk or sour cream with active cultures.

Supplies Needed

  • Glass jar – You will need a quart-sized glass jar for culturing the cream.
  • Paper towel or cloth napkin, plus rubber band – For covering the cream while it cultures.
  • Cheesecloth – Choose 90-count cheesecloth. This is for dripping excess liquid out of the cream once it has cultured.
  • Colander and bowl – To catch whey as it drips out of the cream cheese.

How to Make Cultured Cream Cheese

Steps 1-4 of making homemade cream cheese: 1) adding cream to quart-sized jar 2) adding starter culture 3) covering jar and letting culture for 24 hours 4) thickened cream

1. Combine cream and culture in a quart-sized glass jar.
2. Cover the jar with a paper towel or cloth napkin and secure with a rubber band.
3. Culture at room temperature for 8 to 24 hours until set up like firm yogurt or sour cream.

Steps 5-8 of making cream cheese: 5) cultured cream in cheese cloth 6) cultured cream tied up in cheesecloth in a colander to let whey drip out 7) whey has dripped out, leaving cream cheese 8) cream cheese on a small serving plate
4. Drain the whey/buttermilk out of the cultured cream by hanging it in cheesecloth for 12 to 24 hours, or until the cheese is as dry as you’d like.
5. Remove the cheese from the cheesecloth and put in a jar or glass storage container. Cover with an air-tight lid. Keeps for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
6. Enjoy plain, add sea salt to taste, or flavor (see below for ideas).

Flavored Cream Cheese

In this video excerpt from the Cultured Dairy & Basic Cheese eCourse, I show you how to make Onion-Chives or Cinnamon-Walnut homemade cream cheese.

(TCS premium members, be sure to log in and download the detailed print notes which include more flavor ideas.)

  • Cinnamon Walnut – Combine 1 cup of cream cheese with 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (preferably soaked and dehydrated), 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 3 tablespoons of desired sweetener.
  • Onion Chives – Combine 1 cup of cream cheese with 1/4 cup finely diced onions, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
  • Spinach Onion – Mix 1 cup of cream cheese with 1/3 cup chopped, fresh spinach, 1/4 cup finely diced onion, and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
  • Sun-dried Tomato Basil – Mix 1 cup of cream cheese with 1/4 cup diced, sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
  • Garlic Herb – Mix 1 cup of cream cheese with 1-1/2 teaspoons of dried herbs (or a tablespoon of fresh), 1-1/2 teaspoons of crushed garlic, and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a starter culture?

You need something to inoculate and thicken the cream… however it doesn’t have to be dry powdered culture such as this one. You can also use buttermilk or sour cream with active cultures.

The advantage to using a dry powdered starter culture is, if they are new and not degraded from being stored too hot, you can ensure a better result. Having said that, either can be used in this instance and if one option is much more economical for you, you can go with that!

Where do I buy a starter culture?

I recommend this mesophilic cheese starter from Homesteader Supply!

Can I use raw milk?

Yes, you can! In fact, I recommend it as the most nutritious way of making cultured cream cheese. Raw dairy, especially once cultured, can’t be beat. šŸ™‚

Simply skim cream from the top of your raw milk, and proceed with the recipe as written.

How long will cultured cream cheese last?

Two weeks in the fridge, or longer in the freezer.

How can I use cultured cream cheese?

Use cultured cream cheese anywhere you’d use regular, store-bought cream cheese… on English muffins or sourdough bagels, with veggies and crackers, or dolloped onto your morning pancakes!

Can I freeze cultured cream cheese?

Definitely! I like to wrap logs of cultured cream cheese in parchment or wax paper, then place individual logs in a zip-top bag for freezing, exactly the same way I store cultured butter long-term.

    I found a site that said you can make your own mesophilic starter culture. You take raw milk and let it sit out for 24+ hours till its thick like yogurt. Then pour in ice cube trays. There you have your starter culture. I was wondering if you know is that a good way to do it? Or do you just end up with clabbered milk?? Thanks!

      June 8, 2011 at 8:15 am

      Evie — Yes, you can do that! You run the risk of the flavor not being consistent (clabber — soured raw milk — can taste different batch to batch) but many people do this with great success. Use it as the same rate as a prepared mother culture (1 T to 1 cup of milk).

        Yay! I recently made curds and whey. I then used the curds in recipes calling for sour cream, yogurt, and cream cheese. Yes, I had to adjust for the liquid content, but it was deeeelish! Good to know I can freeze it for later!

    Can I use whey as mesophilic culture?

    Thanks

    • Wardee says

      June 10, 2011 at 5:41 pm

      Martine — No, I don’t think so. Whey is acidic from the get-go and may end up curdling your cream way too fast into curds and whey. The mesophilic bacteria produce acids slowly over time to thicken it just right.

      Yes! Though not the kefir itself — use about a tablespoon of grains per quart of cream to culture it. Then of course remove the grain before proceeding, but I know you know that. šŸ™‚

    probably a very ignorant question, but are you able to freeze this cream cheese as you would store bought? If so, would you add the flavorings before or after freezing since it has no preservatives?

    Reply
    • Wardee says

      June 16, 2011 at 2:22 pm

      RG — You can freeze it, yes. Whether or not you add the other ingredients before or after doesn’t matter. If there are some that don’t freeze well, you’d probably want to wait on those.

    Wardee, seeing you struggle a little with removing the cheese cloth from the stick reminded me to share something small but exciting…to homesteader types anyway! LOL I recently added a hook underneath a shelf in my laundry. The shelf is above a counter so when I need to hang things like cheese or jelly the bowl sits on the counter and whatever is hanging goes on the hook above…it’s so easy now! šŸ˜Ž

    Will this cream cheese melt well (like in a cream sauce over noodles?) or should it stay cold to stay creamy?

      October 2, 2011 at 2:14 pm

      Rhonda — This will be creamy either cold or at room temperature. By melt, if you mean melt like butter — yes, it will do that. But it doesn’t melt like cheddar cheese, not that kind of melt. I hope this helps! šŸ™‚

    Hi Wardeh,

    When you make your soft cheese (of any type), do you discard your cheese cloth every time? Or wash and reuse?

      Hi Amy,

      You can wash and reuse. These directions come from our Cultured Dairy eCourse: To clean the cheesecloth: Pull apart layers. Rinse each in cool water. Boil for 20 minutes or wash in a sterile cycle of your washing machine to sterilize it. Hang to dry.

    yay. I was wondering how to jazz up some cheese I made…stumbling around over here learning this stuff, I made cheese. I put cultured cottage cheese into my raw milk and waited nearly a day and one half before pouring it into a nut-milk bag and hanging it from a cup hook under the cabinet next to the sink. It formed cheese, but, the flavor is pretty neutral. Now, it’s delish! walnuts, cinnamon and some maple syrup have transformed my boring cheese into a yummy spread for my breakfast. Thanks.

    How might this be different from the “cream cheese” that results after letting whey drip from whole milk yogurt with active cultures?

    Reply

      August 7, 2021 at 7:33 am

      Hi, M.J.,

      Cream cheese is made with a different ratio of cream than yogurt which is made from more milk than cream. Yogurt, when strained is properly called yogurt cheese.

      Also, the cultures (beneficial bacteria) can be different. The above-mentioned culture is completed at room temperature whereas many yogurts, are cultured with a thermophilic culture.

    What is room temperature that you refer to in this recipe? Here in the north east I keep my house about 60-62 degrees in the day and 58-80 at night to save on high heating bills here in New York. Would this require a longer time to ferment?

    I’ve tried this twice now using cultured buttermilk and Organic Valley heavy cream. It keeps turning out more like cultured butter than cream cheese. Crumbly and very hard once refrigerated. Not sure what’s going wrong? It definitely firms up after 12 hours at room temperature, and drains nicely. But the finished product is not what I was expecting.
