Creamy cheese, less fat – without compromise!

Low-fat cheeses are becoming increasingly popular with consumers who value a balanced, healthy diet. Varieties with high protein content and reduced calorie content are particularly in demand.

The challenge: When producing cheese with reduced fat content, there is often a loss of flavor, bitter notes, and a dry, rubbery texture. 

 

Nordmann partner dsm-firmenich offers an innovative solution with Delvo®Cheese CT-Light: 

  • Full flavor experience with less fat  
    Production of cheese with 30% fat in dry matter or less while
    retaining the creamy texture and taste of full-fat cheese.
  • Optimized texture through exopolysaccharides
    The exopolysaccharides formed by the acidification cultures
    ensure high water binding and a smooth texture.
  • Versatile
    Ideal for classic sliced cheeses such as Gouda, Edam, or
    Manchego.

Complementary cultures for even more flavor and mouthfeel

  • Delvo®ADD 100-D: Gives the cheese a buttery flavor. 
  • Delvo®ADD reduce fat: Ensures a soft, creamy mouthfeel and improves water binding in the cheese matrix.
