On the surface of smear cheese,there are some bacteria and yeasts which make the surface become orange-red. 

1,how to add smear culture?(how many methods is used) 

2,what does "smear" mean here,a verb or a noun? 

Thank you so much! 

1. There are several methods. I suggest that you add sufficient culture to quarter strength Ringers solution to give a cell concentration of around 100,000,000 CFU/ml. You should immerse the cheese in this preparation for a defined time-say 1 minute. This process should be applied several times, say 3 times, over a period of say 5 days. Culture suppliers will have specific instructions for the use of their products and you might want to contact them also. 

2. If you give the cheese a name e.g Cheddar the naming word is a noun. In the context you are using smear, this word is a noun.
