Mild Lipase Powder

Lipase is an enzyme that is often added to alpine-style cheeses to give them their characteristic “bite.” However, I’ve found that it gives aged cheeses an after-vomiting taste; I no longer use lipase for aged cheeses. That said, lipase is a good addition to fresh cheeses like mozzarella. The lipase gives them a slight flavor boost. You can’t detect the lipase flavor; the cheese is just a little more flavorful.
