Sauces

Ready-made sauces, ready to use sauces, sauces for pasta, potato, rice and vegetable dishes remain a popular choice for consumers. However, current consumers expect delicious, innovative flavours and quality ingredients. Lactosan Cheese Powders can make the difference for your sauces and can even help you to charge a premium by declaring “made with real cheese” on the labelling.

A broad range of advantages

Our Cheese Powders offer a unique combination of flavour, functionality and convenience in sauce recipes either in dry mix, ready to use sauces with UHT processes or pasteurised solutions. By using our Cheese Powders, given their controlled formulation, you can also reduce the risk of Maillard reaction during your sauces heat treatment, while maintaining the end-product stability.

When compared to a wheel of cheese or grated cheese, Lactosan Cheese Powders allow for superior flavour notes and texture. They are also easy to use and handle, thus providing greater stability over time and less demanding storage requirements. Flavour profiles can be tailored to suit local preferences by adding region-specific, mild or matured cheese varieties and any type of cheese powder can be applied very easily to the production processes.

Apart from Lactosan Cheese Powders, in our line Creamline you will find powder milk cream products, which will add extra creaminess and that characteristic milky note so appealing to consumers.

Market trends

In gastronomy, the most popular sauces worldwide are: Mornay, Béchamel, Carbonara, Cheddar and 4-Cheese varieties. The addition of Lactosan Cheese Powders to a simple tomato sauce will add a different flavour and increase tastiness.

Clean label solutions for soups and sauces are the new standard.

Global innovation continues to expand the range of soups and sauces prepared without additives or artificial ingredients.
The search of clean label options, simpler ingredient lists and healthier formulations, in formulations with less sugar, fat and salt has given rise to a growth in opportunities to innovate in sauce flavours.

Working with global brands

We recently helped an important international brand to expand its pre-made sauces portfolio using some specific Lactosan Cheese Powder profiles, to develop unique and differentiating combinations, in combination with Creamline Lactosan, to generate a unique synergy of flavour and texture. In another project, a customer replaced a dehydrated grated cheese with our parmesan profile Lactosan Cheese Powder in a dry mix for preparing pasta sauce, which allowed to extend its shelf life and improve the final product flavour, thus enhancing overall flavour and reducing costs, as a result of not requiring refrigerated storage.
