SPREADABLE CHEESE

Processing applications for spreadable cheese

Spreadable cheese is growing in popularity as consumers gravitate to healthy, convenient snacking and seek new experiences such as using soft cheese as a cooking ingredient. Cheese tea, an Asian phenomenon that has reached Europe, is just one of multiple trends exemplifying the potential of this dynamic segment.

The category is diversifying as manufacturers add new flavours and varieties – from full-fat to low-fat, and from particle-free to recipes with herbs and spices. We have the food production knowledge – and the processing equipment – to help you explore all parts of the spreadable cheese universe.

Classic cream cheese made from fresh milk or savoury spreads made from recombined powders? Chilled or ambient products? Batch production or continuous high-volume manufacturing? Whatever your production goals and consumer preferences, we have the processing solutions and know-how to support you in developing recipes with exactly the appearance, taste and mouthfeel you desire.

Processing flexibility is paramount in such a diverse category, so our technology and expertise support the production of all types of spreadable cheese. Moreover, our solutions are customized to help you switch easily and efficiently between recipes. For optimum productivity, maximum effectiveness and full consumer satisfaction.
