THE HOTTEST SOUP SOLUTIONS
Demand for soups with cheese on the ingredient list exhibits a growth of +7.36% CAGR (source: Innova Market Insights, 2020-2025). Consumers are increasingly seeking diverse culinary and great tasting experiences, leading to a rise in soups featuring ethnic flavours with taste and quality being paramount. Some markets are restricting the use of additives such as MSG in various food applications. As a result, producers are seeking alternative ways to meet the consumer demand for better taste and umami.
Lactosan’s Cheese Powder is the ideal ingredient for crafting umami and developing the perfect taste and creamy texture and mouthfeel in soups. It enables cleaner labelling by replacing MSG and reducing the sodium content and ensures more consistent quality compared to fresh cheese.
Lactosan’s Cheese Powders deliver a unique combination of taste, functionality, and convenience.
Our Cheese Powders complement a wide range of flavour profiles that blend traditional recipes with modern twists, including Cream of Tomato (adding creaminess and rich cheese notes), Broccoli & Stilton, Mushroom, Curry, and Thai soups, among many others. We can also collaborate with you to develop exciting new flavours or soup-based products, such as Cup Noodles, Ramen, or Tomato Soup.
Whether for dry mix, UHT, or pasteurised applications our extensive range enhances umami and kokumi while also supporting labelling and declaration requirements, such as provenance cheeses or organic solutions.
