These plant-based fermented dairy products from Planteneers have been developed to provide authentic dairy-free versions of some signature recipes. The plant-based products include yogurt, cream cheese, quark, creme fraiche and ayran, which are each made possible thanks to the fiildDairy FEQ series. These include different starches that can be used with vegan cultures for fermentation to achieve authentic dairy-like products with the right mouthfeel.
The plant-based fermented dairy products from Planteneers were commented on by Product Manager Linda Eitelberger who said, "Whichever base is available, our system gives an alternative to yogurt with a balanced flavor and creamy texture that is very similar to conventional yogurt. The consistency can be adjusted individually. Depending on the dosing of the stabilizing system, the final product can be spoonable or drinkable.”
