Popped cheese, the alternative for freeze dried cheese

Consumers increasingly care about having a healthy lifestyle and look for tasty, portable snacks made with simple, clean-label ingredients that deliver on functionality, like proteins. The process of freeze-drying is one of the best ways to preserve food for long-term storage while maintaining the nutrients. A major drawback are the extremely high production costs of freeze dried cheese.

Luckily, we developed a better way to remove water from food. By popping it. When applying this to cheese, a new type of functional snack is found. Cheese, being a natural source of protein and calcium, now becomes a crunchy, shelf stable snack with a shelf life of over a year. Perfect for on-the-go, when craving a quick energy boost. High in protein, vegetarian, gluten free and free of carbs!

We process cheese

Pioneers in cheese

Since 2009, our strive for innovation made us pioneers in the field of developing a production technique that could literally make cheese pop as the alternative to freeze dried cheese. From the heart of the Netherlands, we supply the world, using our high-tech manufacturing equipment and carefully designed processes to ensure that we comply with the highest food safety standards. That is how we contribute to Holland’s outstanding international reputation when it comes to the production of dairy.

Since our popped and dried grated cheese products are made of 100% cheese, we use the name of the original cheese varieties to indicate the taste of our popped and grated cheese varieties. After all, we just use cheese, nothing else!
