DSM has introduces Delvo^®ADD, a portfolio of adjunct cultures for creating unique, aged cheddar cheese taste profiles. Delvo^®ADD complements DSM’s portfolio for cheddar cheese, which includes cultures, coagulants, bulk starters, lipases and cheese-coating solutions.                                                                                                                                                              

Cheddar cheese is one of the most popular cheese-types and consumer taste preferences are migrating toward more premium and unique cheddar flavor profiles, creating many opportunities for innovation. Cheddar cheese manufacturers will differentiate their products by crafting sweet, buttery, savory, and mature flavor notes or a combination of these, and are looking for new ingredient options and solutions to develop balanced taste profiles in their cheddars, without off flavors.

“DSM is pleased to introduce the Delvo®ADD portfolio of adjuncts for cheddar cheese producers who want to differentiate on taste,” says Evandro Oliveira de Souza, Business Lead for Cheese at DSM Food Specialties. “This addition to our cheddar cheese range gives cheesemakers more flexibility to develop their desired taste profile, whether they want to enhance a savory or buttery note, or prefer to increase caramel-like sweet notes, or want to create a more mature cheddar flavour.”

The new portfolio includes seven adjunct cultures that, for example, create flavor complexity and memory of typical mature cheddars (Delvo®ADD 200-C) or create complex savory flavor with the typical umami notes (Delvo®ADD Savory). The range also includes solutions for reducing ripening time by up to 30% for a more efficient production (Delvo®ADD EZ-Age) or to create full-fat flavor in low-fat cheese (Delvo®ADD Reduce Fat), in line with the market trends.
