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
