Dairy and Dairy-Free Milk Flavors

Delivering the satisfying taste and mouthfeel of milk to your dairy, dairy-free, and plant-based applications requires specialized flavor expertise and resources. At Edlong, we use over a century of experience exclusively focused on the taste of dairy and a cultivated library of hundreds of dairy flavors that can be applied in thousands of combinations to offer the perfect solutions for your unique application development challenges.

Everything The Taste of Milk Can Be

Whether you’re looking to boost flavor in dairy, dairy-free, and plant-based applications, mask off-notes in bases, or add a “signature” taste profile your consumers will crave, Edlong’s global team of dairy-flavor experts is uniquely skilled at leveraging and customizing our best-in-class library of dairy and dairy-free milk flavors to develop solutions for your applications.

Our authentic-tasting concentrated milk flavors can also be used to replace or reduce dairy commodities in your applications to provide cost savings and improve flavor consistency – all while boosting taste, enhancing mouthfeel, and adding balance.

Our flavors are available in a variety of forms, even ones that are heat stable and can overcome the most intense processing conditions. Other formats include liquid/oil-soluble, paste, spray dry, powder, emulsions, and more. We also certify flavors to meet your label restrictions such as Organic, Kosher Dairy, Kosher Pareve, Halal, Non-GMO, and Whole Foods Compliant.

Profiles

Edlong’s knowledge of the different processes to which dairy ingredients are subjected enables us to create true-to-life milk flavors with authentic and distinctive profiles that range from toasted and nutty to fresh or earthy – including milk, sweetened condensed, milky creamy, sweet milk, and every variety in between.

Fresh Milk

The taste of fresh milk is often used in beverages that require shelf-stable ingredients, such as protein and ready-to-drink applications. Our Fresh Milk profiles mask cooked notes and add fresh taste to heat-processed drinks.
Grass-Fed Milk

Milk from grass-fed cows has savory, earthy and organic notes that are a perfect match for beverages and sauces. Use our Grass-Fed Milk profiles for applications that require a distinctive, farm-fresh taste.
Milk

Characterized by a sweet bland flavor with the slight sharpness of lactic acid, Milk is a basic ingredient in many food applications. Edlong accurately simulates the presence of Milk in all your recipes.
Steamed Milk

The frothy layer atop espresso, this blanket of milky bubbles adds a velvety texture to coffee drinks. Edlong can simulate Steamed Milk perfection for your beverage or other application.
Sweetened Condensed Milk

This profile, often found in desserts and candies, conveys very sweet, rich, fatty milky notes with a hint of caramel. Get the perfect Sweetened Condensed Milk profile your application needs with Edlong.
Mouthfeel Builder

When dairy commodities are reduced or eliminated, milk flavors can build back and enhance the richness and creaminess, resulting in products with the same great perception as the full commodity versions.

From sauces and dressings to bakery and snack foods, our dedicated and highly skilled team of flavorists offers extensive experience in developing milk flavors that are ideal for a wide range of applications. Edlong’s expertise in dairy flavors and their building blocks, as well as the latest in cultured flavor technologies, consumer trends, and cultural preferences, fuels our ability to support you in developing exceptional products to suit your specific needs.

Our R&D and Applications experts are at the ready to help you find the perfect solution, whether it’s a custom formulation or an option from our existing library of hundreds of ready-to-use cultured flavors that can be applied in thousands of combinations.

Our range of expertise encompasses the globe. No matter the profile your application calls for, Edlong has – or will create – the ideal match.
