Cheese Powder originates from Lactosan
|
| Did you know that we invented Cheese Powder ? In 1951, Christian Jessen, factory manager at that time, experimented with the production of cheese powder made from melted cheese by using a spray drier. This had never been done before, but after some time he developed a unique technique to produce cheese powder. |

Lactosan produced processed cheese for Fromageries Bel
Lactosan started producing processed cheese in 1951. In 1953 Lactosan obtained an agreement with the French firm “Fromageries Bel” about deliveries of processed cheese and produced for the Canadian market.

Cheese powder became more and more important
The sale of cheese powder increased becoming so significant that the production and packing of processed cheese became less important and was phased out.
The success of Cheese Powder resulted in markets worldwide
The food industry worldwide became Lactosan’s market. At the beginning Lactosan sold to the biscuits industry. Later other segments were added, for instance processed cheese, snacks, ready-meals, dry-mix for soups, sauces and dips.
