Versatile Concentrated Dairy Ingredients

Milk Buds Plus Mimics American-Style Chocolate

— March 28, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Milk Buds Plus concentrated dairy ingredient solution has been created by Butter Buds Inc. as a versatile product for food and beverage manufacturers to incorporate into their formulations.

Featuring an American-style chocolate taste and texture, the ingredient offers a premium dairy taste with a fatty mouthfeel and a flavor masking profile. The ingredient is great for being used in beverages, confectionery products and bakery fillings, amongst others. The water-soluble solution can be added to existing formulations and requires low usage rates, which can keep costs low for ingredients.

National Sales Director Michael Ivey commented on the Milk Buds Plus concentrated dairy ingredient solution saying, "Milk Buds Plus is a versatile ingredient ideal for use in a variety of confectionery coatings, milk chocolate bars, beverages, and bakery fillings. It is crafted from real dairy to provide consumers with the true dairy taste and nutrition they want, yet contains virtually no fat, trans-fats, or cholesterol."
