On top of that, this fermented cream cheese can be used as a base for other flavour extension: garlic and herbs and chives being the top contenders.
This amazing product is one of the most well-received plant-based dairy products in our portfolio and a true feat of innovation.
TOP's role
One of the first and most important products in the plant-based dairy portfolio is the plant-based cream cheese. TOP has successfully developed this plant-based cream cheese from scratch.
Finding the right protein source was difficult, because of the high influence on the flavour and texture. The large amount of tested proteins in the TOP database made it possible to correctly identify the best contenders and soon the right protein source was implemented to give the most creamy and rich texture.
Furthermore, the fermentation process utilized to produce the fresh and dairy-like flavours in the cream cheese is a unique process compared to the other plant-based dairy products. Combining this with the best possible flavours, the unique flavour profile of cream cheese was obtained.
