popped crunchy cheese as ingredient

mixed nuts & crunchy cheese balls

Nut mixes are more popular than ever, being a great choice when looking for healthy and nutritious snacks. Traditional ingredients like almonds, peanuts, walnuts, cashews, seeds, dried cranberries or raisins are quite common, however there is something new making your nut mix even tastier, while the benefits remain: popped cheese. Discover our high protein, gluten free, vegetarian and clean label ingredient for your products!

Applying real cheese in snacks, such as nut mixes turned out to be a long-cherished desire of snack food manufacturers. However, the moisture content in fresh cheese was far too high to manage, but an even greater limitation was the short shelf life and the need for chilled storage of this fresh cheese. This made that cheese as an ingredient in dry snack products wasn’t an option. The only alternative available to the food manufacturing industry was cheese powder, giving snack products a cheese taste, but it lacked the visual experience of real cheese. Luckily, old limitations no longer apply with our innovative popped cheese balls. The ultimate ingredient for your nut mix that fits in today’s consumption trends.

Mixed nuts pioneers in 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. 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 extremely dried cheese products are made of 100% cheese, we use the name of the original cheeses to indicate the taste of our cheese variaties. After all, we just use cheese, nothing else!
