Capturing authentic taste, mouthfeel, and melting properties in dairy, dairy-free, lactose-free, and vegan cheese applications requires specialized expertise. With over a century of focus on delivering the true taste of dairy, and more than 40 years of pioneering solutions in the plant-based and vegan space, Edlong offers you the industry’s broadest collection of cheese flavor profiles and customization capabilities.
The authentic flavor of cheese can make almost any side dish, snack, or meal more delicious. Edlong flavors can build richness, mouthfeel, and overall dairy base notes, as well as bring out signature characteristics – like sharpness, age, lipolytic qualities, or even fruitiness – to create a more authentic cheese experience. Our flavors can also elevate taste in analog cheeses, including vegan cheeses. Whether you are working on regional or global applications, our team is ready to collaborate with you to deliver the perfect solution.
