Value-Driven Solutions
Flavors can provide value to your product development in several ways; one significant benefit that creates measurable impact is value. At Edlong, we specialize in helping you leverage the opportunities that our industry-leading portfolio of dairy and dairy-free flavors provide in boosting taste and providing flavor consistency.
Dairy Can Be Value-Driven, and Flavor Enhancement
Edlong’s value-driven solutions focus on areas that include reducing real dairy ingredient commodities such as butter, cheese, milk, buttermilk, yogurt and the like, and replacing them with a flavor, which could help reduce costs while improving the taste experience your products deliver. With Edlong flavors, every ounce delivers more taste impact.
Tapping into Edlong’s flavor expertise and industry-leading library of dairy, dairy-free, and vegan flavors to reduce or replace commodities brings several benefits: potentially a lower cost-in-use; more stable formula costs; and more consistent margins that are less subjected to the volatility of commodity prices. All while keeping – and often enhancing – the taste impact of your product.
Authentic Dairy & Dairy-Free Solutions
From baked goods, cookies, and cereal bars to savory snacks, cheeses, beverages and more, the Edlong team has a mastered the process of developing the complex flavor profiles required to deliver authentic-tasting products that meet your commodity & cost reduction goals across a wide range of applications.
Replacing or reducing commodities with Edlong flavors could allow you to achieve greater flavor consistency in your applications compared to using commodities, helping ensure your flavor profile and flavor intensity always remain the same. We also provide the opportunity to use taste profiles that may otherwise be cost-prohibitive when using commodities at commercial quantities, coupled with opportunities to create unique profiles that differentiate your product from the competition – and even allow you to remove allergens that could be a purchase barrier for your consumers.
Commodities also put limits on your flavor impact. For example, there’s an upper limit to how cheesy you can make an application just by adding more cheese; if you have one pound of cheese in your formula and increase it to two pounds, you don’t get twice as much taste. You’ve doubled your cost, but not your taste impact. Edlong flavors can amplify taste impact in all of your applications.
Understanding Cost In Use
For larger companies, cost reductions can also be realized with cost, system, and supplier integration, reducing overall complexity and inventory storage expenses. For smaller companies, there could be tangible opportunities to save on costs related to prepping to scale production after acquisition or investment.
To get an inside look at the cost saving opportunities that Edlong flavors can deliver, check out our Cheese Sauce case study that shows the possible benefits of commodity reduction and proven increased taste impact in action.
