Lacotsan Goya Cheese Powder for Hot Tomato Soup

The benefit of combining cheese powder and vegetables

What do tomatoes šŸ… & cheese šŸ§€ have in common?

ā­ They both contain high levels of the umami provider glutamic acid and as the tomato ripens and the cheese matures these levels increase.


Great Taste Beyond Compare
Some like tomatoes red, some like them green ā€“ we like them with cheese powder! And together they make a fantastic combo packing a meal or a snack with great taste and mouthfullness.

šŸ…+šŸ§€= umami, taste enhancement and mouthfullness

Our cheese powders are based on high quality cheeses to ensure great tasting products ā€“ for both sweet and savouryĀ applications.

ā­ And there is an extra benefit of using our cheese powders: a layer of kokumi. The unique characteristics of umami and kokumi can be useful in vegetable dishes to enhance a tasty profile, mask unwanted off-flavours or reduce salt to get a cleaner labelling.
