Lactosan Cheese Powders For Imitation Cheese

Better than fresh cheese

Our Cheese Powders are perfect for enhancing, substituting, or masking flavours in processed and imitation cheeses. They provide a more reliable solution than fresh cheeses, which can vary in maturation and availability, making it challenging to maintain end-product consistency.

Cheese Powders help you achieve specific flavour profiles and declaration claims while being easier to store and manage than fresh cheese - ultimately reducing overall costs. They also enable quick and effortless development of new product varieties and flavours without the need to modify your existing production process.

Lactosan Cheese Powders are ideal for a wide range of applications, including cheese slices for burgers and sandwiches, cheese spreads, and imitation cheeses such as Mozzarella - and Feta-style products.
