These new Bluegrass Ingredients dairy concentrates have been created by the specialty food ingredients supplier as a series of solutions for helping its customers to combat against the riding cost of butter.
The brand has created six new butter and cream concentrates that include the Cream Cheese Concentrate Factor 5 Wet, Buttermilk Concentrate Factor 15 Wet, Butter Concentrate Factor 15 Dried, Brown Butter Concentrate Factor 10 Dried, Buttermilk Concentrate Factor 10 Dried and Whole Milk Concentrate Factor 6 Dried. The ingredients are rated to help customers cut costs and at an impressive level, while also accommodating for the changing preferences of today's consumer. All of the products are clean label and certified Kosher.
Director Business Development Concentrates at Bluegrass Ingredients Chad Mitchell spoke on the new dairy concentrates saying, "We know the demand for butter and cream is strong both domestically and globally. Consumers’ preference for natural and high-quality fats has kept consumption high and caused many food manufacturers to develop new products with butter instead of other oils. At the same time, decreased milk production, rising input costs, and extreme weather events have created lower supplies. We are thrilled to offer options for our customers that help them navigate these shifting realities, while partnering with them to utilize these ingredients in innovative applications and end products.”
