The DalterFood Group has announced a new series of vegetarian cheeses that respond to increasing calls amongst consumers for dairy products that maintain a free-from formulation. The cheese range from the Italian dairy brand consists of such options as Vegetarian Pecorino, Spinoro and custom grated blends, which are each crafted using microbial coagulants instead of animal rennet. This gives the cheeses a vegetarian-friendly profile without compromising on their signature taste, texture or function.
The vegetarian cheese range from the DalterFood Group is targeted towards retailers, food industry professionals and foodservice operators that are in search of ways to respond to shifting consumer dietary patterns. The products are positioned competitively to work well for operators and brands alike as consumers continue to shift towards vegetarian alternatives.
