Cultured Dairy Applications

Capturing authentic or signature taste in your cultured dairy applications requires specialized knowledge and the right resources. With over a century of experience in delivering the true taste of dairy, Edlong offers one of the broadest portfolios of dairy and dairy-free flavor capabilities to create cottage cheeses, yogurts, kefirs, buttermilks, cremas, authentic-tasting vegan offerings, and other cultured products. Our collaborative experts excel at working closely with you to develop custom, and sometimes even unexpected, solutions to achieve your specific cultured dairy goals faster than your competition.

Collaboration That Drives Cultured Dairy Innovation

Edlong is where the industry’s most extensive library of dairy and dairy-free flavors meets proven technical expertise. Collaboration at every stage of the development process is at the foundation of our application solutions. We work closely with you to create signature profiles that suit your specific needs while creating unique flavor combinations for cultured dairy products, including those that are frozen, refrigerated, shelf-stable, and more. Through chemistry, dairy raw material knowledge, customization skills, food and sensory science, instrumental analysis, and creativity, we work with you to blend, layer, and deliver the solution that meets your consumers’ demand for great taste and mouthfeel as well as your functional and cost-in-use requirements.

I love the idea of making cultured and dairy notes in vegan products work in synergy to mimic a true dairy product. This is executed through careful formulation and testing, along with Edlong’s unmatched expertise.
