Enhance Sauces with Lactosan Cheese Powders

Our cheese powders deliver a unique blend of flavour, functionality, and convenience—perfect for dry mix, UHT, or pasteurised sauce applications. Low in lactose, they help minimise the Maillard reaction during heat treatment, ensuring product stability and consistency.

Lactosan Cheese Powders offer superior taste and texture, with easier handling, longer maturation stability, and simplified storage compared to fresh cheese. Flavour profiles can be customised to regional tastes using mild, matured, or locally inspired varieties.

Choose from our wide range of Cheese Powders, including provenance, organic, vegetarian, and halal options. Popular cheese-based sauces include Mornay, Béchamel, Carbonara, Smoked Cheese, and Four-Cheese blends.

Highlights of Global Sauce Trends

Sensory Awakening: Emerging trends in sensory excitement are enhancing sauces' traditional appeal to the senses. The fusion of sweet and spicy—termed "swicy"—continues to captivate palates worldwide. Descriptions of texture are evolving beyond the traditional "smooth", while unusual ingredient combinations deliver unexpected flavour notes and aromas.

Authentic Flavours: Interest in Asian and hot flavours remains strong.

Provenance & Responsible Sourcing: The demand for clean-label products is being driven by consumers' desire to know exactly what goes into their food. Sustainability plays a key role in this - geographical indicators on front-of-pack labelling and responsibly sourced ingredients are gaining greater shelf presence.

Clean-Up: Global innovation continues to expand the range of sauces formulated without additives or artificial ingredients.
