The Dairy Alternatives category brings together fermentation solutions for plant-based products that replace dairy, such as yoghurt alternatives (“vegurt”), plant-based cream cheese, and other fermented plant-based products. The portfolio includes Vertera® solutions – starter cultures for plant-based products, Vertera® FreshQ® – bioprotective cultures for microbiological stability, and Vertera® Nu-trish® – probiotic cultures developed for digestive health and immune support.

These biosolutions enable manufacturers to create fermented plant-based products with balanced taste, optimised texture, and a clear positioning around naturalness and health.
