The Edlong Simply Dairy Line

Ideal for simple label products, Edlong Simply Dairy gives you a line of concentrated dairy profiles – not flavors – that naturally amplify cheese or butter notes, and deliver impactful dairy essences. Unlike flavors, they can be listed as their source ingredients on product labels, providing the transparency that your consumers demand while helping you achieve clean label richness, creaminess, cheesiness, or a rich buttery taste.

Edlong Simply Dairy is available in an expansive range of flavor profiles, including butters, cheddars, Italian styles, and butter cream profiles, which are ideal for applications ranging from baked goods, cheeses, crackers, and dips, to desserts, dressings, salty snacks, sauces, soups, and much more.

Edlong Simply Dairy can be used alone as the primary dairy character, combined with non-concentrated, reduced-commodity dairy products, or together with commodity dairy products and natural flavors. Contact us to see how we can collaborate with you to develop a custom free-from flavor solution that meets your specific clean label and free-from needs.
