Confectionery

Cheese Powder is widely used as a natural flavour enhancer for many types of confectionery products, and consumers today are keen to experiment with new and exciting flavour directions including a twist of cheese. 
So, how about a dark chocolate bar with Edam Cheese or White Chocolate with Cheddar? 

At Lactosan, we can help you to understand the many benefits of using Cheese Powder, from better authentic flavour profiles to improved taste and functionalities, that will bring your confectionery concepts to life.

The ideal ingredient

Lactosan’s Cheese Powders are perfect ingredients for many different types of confectionery products, such as fillings for chocolates, marshmallows, chocolate fondue and other chocolate compounds. Here, Cheese Powders are typically applied to accentuate a specific cheese note or to add ‘body’ to round off or enhance complementary flavours and flavour directions.

Our experts can help you to use our Cheese Powder Solutions for a range of other benefits, such as greater convenience for your production process and to reduce the need for unwanted additives. The addition of Lactosan Cheese Powders can also help to support your declaration requirements.
