Tartaric Acid - 4oz.

I'd made homemade mascarpone cheese before using other things I had lying around in the kitchen. I've done it with lemon juice. Pretty sure I did it with some kind of vinegar. I've done it with cream of tartar. I tried with citric acid a couple of times and it never turned out right (I must have used too much, because it separated quicker than it should have, and it never lost the sour taste even after straining, so I must have used too much).Tartaric acid produced the best results of anything I've used to make homemade mascarpone.It's so simple to make. Good stuff.

It's very sour, but be careful not to let any moisture near it, it will clump instantly.

Product seems to be pure. Came well packaged by shipper.Pictured in a simple plastic bag which I was worried about, instead came in a plastic twist-top container.Thrilled about that. 5 stars for upgraded packaging and competitive price. YMMV.

I am sure the tartaric acid would have been great, but its shipping story is incompatible with its use:A little man once ordered tartaric acid. From the advertisement it appeared to be shipped in an individualized sealed packet. Unbeknownst to that man, it was shipped in a little tub instead. The tub would have been fantastic for storage, but it was not so great for shipping. The little tub was not taped shut or sealed in any other way. Instead, it was free to roam around inside its box. Carelessly it was tossed into the shipping box, where it rolled and tipped, tipped, and rolled. The next day the little man went to pick up said box, with tartaric acid and a book inside. When he picked up the box, it leaked white powder from the corners. Carefully he opened the box and inside there was an empty plastic tub and a book full of tartaric acid. Alas, the amount left inside the box and the book was not enough for the little man's little recipe.

Granular form not a fine powder.

worked great for me. seems to be a good quality product and great price

Just what I needed for brewing ginger beer. Good quality, good price.

This product is amazing. I would buy it again.
