Dips, dressings, margarine & spreads

Cheese powder is widely used in the food service industry for spreads and mayonnaise-based seasonings for sandwiches and burgers. In addition, many supermarkets and fast food chains now stock ready-to-go salads with dressings to meet the needs of health-conscious consumers. There is also a growing market for dips as part of an on-the-go snack or as a delicious accompaniment to chips, fries, nuggets or an evening meal. At Lactosan, our Cheese Powder experts can help you to enhance flavour and consistency of your dips, dressings and spreads, helping them to stand out and win market share.

Your Best Choice

Lactosan cheese powders offer a unique combination of flavour, functionality and convenience in recipes where UHT is applied. Our solutions can be used both in cold and warm processes, as well as for dry mix products and are easy to dissolve.

Our Cheese Powders are an ideal replacement for fresh cheese, which can vary in maturity and make it harder to ensure a consistent flavour and quality. Lactosan Cheese Powders are also less expensive to store and use in the production process, and make it far less complex for you to add new cheese varieties to your products.

With Lactosan Cheese Powders it is simpler to match your exact flavour profiles and tailor them to suit local preferences through the addition of region-specific varieties (which can also be used to meet labelling requirements). Likewise, our Creamline Lactosan range of powdered products based on dairy cream are able to add creaminess, moutfeel and a distinctive creamy flavor to your creations. Our ingredients can help you reduce the usage of unwanted additives and naturally strengthen the flavor of other ingredients, such as herbs and spices.

Multifunctional advantages

We have been helping businesses worldwide to improve their dips and dressings. We have recently worked with a global customer to get the right stability and emulsification in their dressing without using emulsifying salts, thus achieving a delicious creamy cheese flavour. Another customer used cheese powder to remove whey protein in a pesto-type product.

Market trends

Many of the main global market trends for 2021 show consumers looking for new sensory experiences and the category of dips and dressings does not escape this. Our Lactosan Powder Cheeses are a perfect ally to develop innovative formulations combining flavour and functionality through different varieties of cheese.

Positionings such as "Natural" and clean labelling are top-tier in the new products launched in this category. Over the last years, the global growth of new product launches of the subcategory that includes dressings, mayonnaises and vinegars is aligned with the main category of sauces and condiments. Increasingly daring flavour profiles and “premiumization” are the key factors driving the growth of this subcategory.

In Latin America, the category also shows a steady growth in recent years, where cheese claims and/or cheese as an ingredient has always been present.
