Fresh fermented dairy products such as yogurt, sour cream, and cheese require a fine-tuned balance of sensory richness, visual appeal, and product stability. dsm-firmenich solutions—rooted in expertise in natural flavors, colors, and functional systems—support the development of high-quality fermented dairy products that meet both traditional expectations and modern consumer demands.
We offer a broad flavor portfolio tailored for fermented dairy applications: from fresh and milky top-notes to more complex buttery, cheesy, and creamy layers. For yogurt and sour cream, we provide lactic, slightly acidic, and fermented profiles that accentuate the cultured character. For cheese, our solutions include aged, ripened, and umami-rich flavors that support a wide spectrum—from mild soft cheeses to more intense semi-hard varieties.
In addition to flavor enhancement, we provide clean-label natural color solutions that help maintain the visual identity of fermented dairy products, ensuring brightness and consistency across batches. Our stabilizer systems are developed to manage syneresis, achieve spoonable or spreadable textures, and maintain structure under varying pH and storage conditions, all while ensuring a pleasant mouthfeel.
