Lactosan Stilton Cheese Powder for Soup

Our commitment to excellence began in 1951, when Mr. Christian Jessen had invented cheese powder, revolutionizing the way food manufacturers could incorporate the rich, complex flavours of cheese in a convenient and powdered form. Today, we continue this legacy of innovation, offering a diverse array of cheese powder, each crafted to meet specific application requirements and consumer demands.

When you choose Lactosan, you're not just getting an ingredient; you're gaining a partner dedicated to your success. We offer unparalleled R&D support, deep market insights, and rigorous quality assurance, ensuring that our cheese powder solutions consistently exceed expectations.

What is Cheese Powder, and Why is it Essential for Modern Food Production?

Cheese powder is a versatile ingredient made from the natural cheeses, capturing the essence of various cheese types in a convenient, shelf-stable format. Our premium cheese powder typically contains 95% cheese and up to 5% melting salts. This concentration of authentic cheese flavour allows food manufacturers to enhance taste, aroma, and mouthfeel across a wide spectrum of applications.

In today's fast-paced food industry, consumers are increasingly seeking products that offer both exceptional taste and convenience, alongside healthier profiles and sustainable sourcing. Our cheese powder addresses these demands by providing:

  • Authentic Cheese Taste: From sharp Cheddar to creamy Emmental, pungent Blue cheese to savoury Gouda, our powders deliver the true taste profile of their fresh cheese counterparts.
  • Enhanced Functionality: Beyond flavour, our cheese powder can improve texture, bind ingredients, and contribute to desirable visual characteristics in finished products.
  • Convenience and Shelf Stability: With a shelf life of 18 months when stored below 25°C, our cheese powder offers logistical advantages and reduces waste compared to fresh cheese.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: By providing concentrated flavor and functional benefits, cheese powder can be a more economical solution for achieving desired sensory profiles.
  • Cleaner Labelling Options: We offer Clean Label Cheese Powders, developed in 2012, helping manufacturers meet consumer demand for simpler ingredient lists.
  • Tailored Solutions: With options for organic, Halal, and non-GMO formulations, we ensure our products align with diverse dietary and ethical considerations.
