About Bactoferm – Flavor of Italy (Click here for pdf)
Bactoferm – Flavor of Italy, also know as “Flora Italia LC” provides a fast acidification and ensures a stable color and a distinctive Mediterranean flavor combined with strong antagonistic properties against Listeria monocytogenes. Most of today’s manufacturers are facing serious challenges as they constantly strive to develop safe and stable products, optimize raw material and manufacturing costs, and get a sausage with the right taste, texture and color. Flora Italia / Flavor of Italy gives a smooth and gentle flavour of Italian salami but has the aditional benefits of fast acidification for added safety and stability.

      My first order went out without a hitch. The next order seems to be hung up in their software because it says for the last 9 days…processing….
      I sent a request for an update and they said they would ask their manager. From other reviews the hang up of orders pending seems to happen often.
      I smart guy would have their I.T. support software developer fix the code.
      I think the products are fine, just order fufillment issues.

      I was disappointed to see that no chill pack was used to protect the product from heat during shipping. Hopefully it will be OK.

      Fresh, and I’ve found the best starter culture for Italian salumi.

      The sausage maker has made my ordering a one stop shop. I am able to order online or call directly to get everything I need. I produce 200 to 300lbs if meat a month and have yet to have anything less than an amazing experience. Johnny Paa has been the best resource when it comes to adding a flavor or tweaking an existing recipe.
      Flavor of italy has been hard to get but they always get me what I need. This culture is amazing

      I understand covid allows things down, but it took a long time to get here. I was hoping there would be directions on the product, but there weren’t any… just tried it last night in a salami.. still fermenting at 78°F… don’t know how long fermentation takes… been about 14 hours now.. ph still at 5.7…I hope it didn’t go bad in transit!

      You can use any of the cultures for a small amount of salami. If you use too much it will not have any negative effect on your salami. If you add too much dextrose, that will significantly drop your pH. Dextrose is the culture's food.
