Clean Label Dairy Concentrates
Natural and Clean Label
Dairy concentrates are natural and clean label, because they are quite literally concentrated, REAL dairy.
WHAT IS A DAIRY CONCENTRATE?
- Natural dairy concentrates are created through enzyme modification, reaction and compounding technologies;
- These concentrates are rich in desirable flavors and free from off-flavors;
- Concentrates are available in paste, powder, and liquid form.
What Are some Benefits to using Dairy Concentrates?
- Replace / Reduce Usage of 1X Cheese
- Provide a specific, heightened “sharp” or “authentic-aged” nuance, to allow customers to buy less expensive (i.e. younger) cheese
- Allow more aroma and flavor intensity in systems that do not allow for a high cheese usage
- Reduce Cost
- Extremely clean label, maintain a "real dairy" label and claim
