Danish term or phrase: rødkit/rødkitten
I'm translating a product sheet for a dairy company and haven't been able to find a translation for this kind of cheese, or is it a kind of culture used in the production of the cheese.

Sorry there's no more info.

Thanks for any help.

washed rind cheese
Explanation:
A Google search will lead you to several websites from various countries, all explaining in detail everything you ever wanted to know about this...ahem! rather pungent type of cheese! ;) Apparently, the red or orange colour appears during the aging process after the application of a bacteria called Brevibacterium linens.

red cheese culture


Explanation:
I had a discussion about this several years ago with a client, and could not find a suitable answer.

Unfortunately I cannot find my references to it now.

However, I did note that the client´s suggestion was simply to call it red cheese culture.
On that particular occasion I think the text went on to describe the flavour and texture of the cheese, which was one of a range of different cheeses.
As far as I remember, this ´red cheese culture´ was used to wash a blue mould cheese inspired by Fourme d´Ambert.

I remember the fruitless search and the discussion with the client quite well, but it must be further back than I have searched in my files - time flies!
