Balanced Range

Balancing Taste with reducing Fat and Salt levels.

Dairygold is delighted to announce the development of a range of cheese solutions which balances the consumer’s desire for taste and functionality with the need to reduce fat and salt levels in our diet.

We are all well aware of the health risks of excessive fat and salt consumption including heart disease and high blood pressure, with organisations such as the Food Standards Agency in the UK emphasising this in a vigorous public awareness campaign. For the consumer cheese means a desirable flavour and texture, be it in a table cheese or a ready meal containing cheese.

At Dairygold Food Ingredients we believe the consumer should not have to choose between health and taste and have developed a range of cheese solutions and spray dried cheese powders and flavours, all produced to strike a balance between the two; providing healthy options without compromising on taste.

Our range of cheese solutions balancing health and functionality include:

• 1.8% salt cheddar cheese in line with FSA guidelines, with the taste and functionality of standard cheddar.
• 22% fat cheese made to a cheddar recipe, delivering a 30% reduction in fat while retaining all the taste and functionality of standard cheddar.
• Ballycashel: A highly sliceable cheddar cheese with the very mild flavour kids love. A salt content of 1.8% in line with FSA guidelines and a slightly reduced fat content of 30% means it’s also more healthy than standard cheddar.
• A sliceable Italian style Calow cheese with 33% less salt and 60% less fat then the standard, this can be used in a wide range of salads and pastas.
• Pumpable natural soft cheese with only 3% fat and 0.9% salt, which can replace a proportion of cheddar cheese in a wide range of ready meals including quiche, cheesy croquettes and cheese sauces, offering a healthy alternative with significant cost savings.
• Emulsifier free processed cheese offering the functional flexibility of processed cheese without the undesirable sodium contribution from emulsifying salts.
• Soft cheese with only 0.1% salt for use in a variety of confectionary applications including cheesecake.
• Natural cheese flavours with less than 3% fat and 0.4% salt for use in sauce type applications where one wants to dramatically reduce salt and fat without compromising on flavour.
• Emulsifier free cheese powder which unlike standard cheese powder contains no added sodium or phosphates and can be used in cheese sauce, spreads, snacks and processed cheese applications.

We look forward to taking this range of balanced cheese solutions to our customer over the coming months in a fantastic tasting range of dishes including pizza, sandwiches, exotic salads, sauces and quiche incorporating the low fat, low salt cheese solutions.
