ENHANCE BEVERAGES WITH LACTOSAN CHEESE POWDER

Boost flavour, creaminess and mouthfeel in your beverage products with Lactosan Cheese Powder. Ideal for masking off-notes in vitamin drinks or complementing fruit, herb, and spice flavours, it refines dairy-based drinks without an overpowering cheese taste.

Cheese-infused beverages - and toppings - are trending globally—from creamy cheese tea in Asia to Camembert-infused rice wine. 

BEVERAGES WITH PURPOSE - #4 TREND BY Innova Market Insights

Today's consumers expect more from beverages than hydration. They want functional benefits like gut-health, stress relief and protein enrichment - turning drinks into daily wellness rituals and identity, from calming “mindful moment” drinks to share‑worthy creations.

With rising demand for clean labels, natural ingredients and sustainable sourcing, over half of global shoppers choose beverages that match their lifestyle and values (source: Innova Market Insights).

Lactosan cheese powders, based on the natural cheeses, deliver rich, authentic dairy depth to innovative, value-driven beverage applications, unlocking new sweet, savoury and hybrid taste spaces while contributing to the protein content.
