MEET CHRISTIAN JESSEN
- with a reminder that great things often have humble - or even accidental - beginnings.
💡 In 1951, Christian Jessen, the first Production Manager at Lactosan A/S, invented cheese powder. A shipment of processed cheese had been returned to the factory because it was deemed too salty. Christian Jessen suggested spray-drying the product - and he succeeded! The first batch of cheese powder was a reality and sold to the biscuit industry in the UK.

It’s a true story of innovation and teamwork – of trial, failure, learning… and how an error can be transformed into a success. Those same values – innovation, dedication and teamwork – remain our cornerstones.
Today, we focus only on cheese powder - nothing else!
