Cheese Salt contains no iodine. Iodine kills the lactic bacteria during the ageing process of cheese, and it is this lactic bacteria that is so important to the proper ageing of your cheese.
Cheese salt is used to help in flavour production, preservation and brining your cheese.
Can also be used in home preserving and vegetable fermentation.

I love to use the cheese salt when I make my cheese as I know it’s free of all the other additives found in supermarket salt. It’s a lovely reliable salt and perfect for making cheese.
