If you stopped by our IFT Expo booth, you saw the smiles. You probably had one yourself. Who could resist a grin after one of our wonderful tastings, and discovering how we can capture the creamy, rich taste of dairy even in non-diary applications? We also had presentations, discussions and lots of great information to share. But the true stars of the show came in delicious bite-sized morsels.
We offered a number of sample tastings and demonstrations throughout the IFT Expo, but here were some of our favorites:
The Science of Versatility
Cottage Cheese Flight: A trio of globally-inspired dips that showcased a cottage cheese base in surprising ways
We raised the protein and lowered the fat without sacrificing layers of flavor, demonstrating how a lower-fat cottage cheese base can create multiple, and distinct taste experiences. These dips all had lower fat, lower cholesterol, lower calories and higher protein than traditional cream cheese-based dip options, but were just as creamy and rich.

Vegan “Speculoos-Style” Ice Cream & Vegan Cookie Stick: The same taste in two unique vegan formats
