Hard cheese saves time and money

Cheese maker's latest starches to reduce production time

Related tags Cheese Milk

KMC has developed two CheeseMaker speciality starches that enable producers to make recombined parmesan and other hard cheese alternatives easily and quickly. Traditionally, 12-16 litres of raw milk are necessary to process a parmesan cheese and it needs to mature for at least a year.

The CheeseMaker products can be combined with vegetable fat and only a low amount of rennet casein to make a recombined alternative that is cost-effective, easy to produce and does not require any maturation time. There is no need to handle a perishable product such as milk or to deal with a byproduct such as whey.

CheeseMaker BL310 gives a crumbly and dry texture and can be used to distribute cheese evenly over a dish, such as pasta. Its irregular shaped shreds mimic natural cheese. CheeseMaker BL320 gives longer and more elastic and uniform shreds and is designed for salads and soups in which the shreds should stay visible.

Both products can be used in a dosage of up to 30% and in products with a dry matter of more than 60%. This high level of dry matter would not be possible using rennet casein or traditional starches.
