The natural cheese flavor range includes solutions developed to enhance and standardize flavor profiles across a wide range of food applications. The portfolio is structured into three main categories: EMC (Enzyme Modified Cheese) – for concentrated flavors obtained through enzymatic modification of cheese; EMD (Enzyme Modified Dairy) – for flavor profiles derived from enzymatically modified dairy ingredients; and flavors for plant-based products, designed to replicate authentic cheese taste in dairy alternatives.

Categories: ,

Features

  • Concentrated natural flavors inspired by real cheese ripening processes;

Applicability

Cheese flavors are structured into three main categories, depending on product type and application technology:

1. EMC – Concentrated cheese flavors obtained through controlled ripening

Applications:

  • Processed and melted cheeses; Sauces, creams, and fillings;
  • Dressings and dips;
  • Ready meals and convenience products;
  • Filled pasta and bakery products.

2. EMD – Dairy flavors (cream and butter)

Concentrated flavors based on dairy fats, delivering creamy, buttery, sweet, or slightly tangy notes that complement or enhance the final product.

Applications:

  • Bakery and confectionery products;
  • Desserts and ice cream;
  • Cream soups and sauces;
  • High-protein products;
  • Applications requiring flavor rounding.

3. Cheese flavors for plant-based products

Solutions specifically developed for plant-based alternatives, designed to replicate the sensory complexity of real cheese without dairy ingredients.

Applications:

  • Plant-based cheese alternatives;
  • Milk, butter, and yogurt alternatives;
  • Plant-based ready meals;
  • Vegan pesto and spreads;
  • Plant-based ice cream.
