Fresh Flavor Trends
Organic Butter

Organic and Traditional Ethnic Cheeses

Butter is back. When cookies, croissants, sauces
and other baked or prepared foods claim to be
made with real butter, consumers expect to taste
butter. It is often challenging to deliver on taste
while ensuring product quality and affordability.
Butter Concentrates come in varying strengths to
meet the demands of a broad range of applications.
There are even Butter Concentrates with extra
layers of subtle flavor, such as sweet cream, homestyle, cultured and burnt. Plus, organic options are
available. Adding Butter Concentrates to a buttercentric recipe makes any food taste like grandma
just made it.

Ethnic cheese concentrates, such as aged
Asiago, smoky Gouda, nutty Emmental and
pungent Roquefort, are a formulator's secret
ingredient to developing globally inspired foods
at an affordable price. They can be used in
sauces, snack mixes and heat-and-eat entrees.
The concentrates are particularly useful in
non-refrigerated applications where moisture
management is necessary for shelf life. Think
artisan crackers and meat jerky. The growing
popularity of Mediterranean foods makes Organic
Feta Cheese Concentrate the perfect solution to
add authentic flavor to all types of products. The
salty, tangy taste can create an independently
unique flavor or serve as a canvas for the layering
of other Mediterranean flavors. Hispanic-inspired
prepared foods continue to trend as today's
consumers crave more authentic and regional
flavors. Organic Monterey Jack Concentrates
blended with other cheeses, ethnic seasonings and
spicy peppers are the backbones of high-quality,
premium foods including queso dips and sauces,
as well as refrigerated and frozen street-style foods,
such as empanadas, wraps and on-the-go snacks.
