Bacteria cultures for use as an inoculant in the preparation of starters and fermented milk products are produced by culturing a milk sugar fermenting bacteria on a culture medium containing whey, a non-whey protein in an amount of about 0.1 to 0.5 weight percent and a buffer mixture. After culturing, the bacteria may be concentrated and freeze dried to produce a starter culture concentrate which can be added directly to cheese milk. When preparing the culture medium, the whey and non-whey protein are pasteurized separately.
