Who we are?
Rennet, cultures, and probiotics are the ingredients that we have been producing for the past 150 years. They are all natural ingredients, essential for the production of many foods and drinks that we consume daily, including many food supplements for the well-being of the whole family.
Rennet
Rennet is a natural ingredient originally of animal origin with an abundant amount of enzymes such as chymosin and pepsin which are essential for the coagulation of milk in the production of cheeses.
Cultures
Cultures, also known as lactic acid bacteria (LAB), are micro-organisms primarily responsible for the fermentation of naturally occuring lactose sugars in milk and for the production of various foods including dairy products, cured meats, baked goods, vegetable preserves, and much more.
Probiotics
Probiotics are live and vital micro-organisms that successfully thrive in the intestine, colonize it, and bring a positive and beneficial effect on the health of the host organism.
What world it would be without our ingredients?
Many finished products that we eat everyday, for breakfast, lunch or dinner, but also after sports, would not exist without our ingredients. Don't you believe it? Find out below.Two slices of salami never hurt
It's Father's Day and as a good child, you have decided to prepare Dad a surprise with his favourite snack: Bread, Salami, Cheddar, and cherry tomatoes. It’s a simple recipe just like drinking a glass of water… All you need is a little imagination in the creation.Too bad however, that without our ingredients, dad's favourite salami and cheddar snack cannot be made…! Yes, that’s right, because cultures are often used to ripen salami and to produce cheddar cheese in combination with the coagulating enzymes found in rennet, and without these ingredients, the cheese would not be called Cheddar, but simply remain just as milk!
Don't despair little one, you can always just prepare him a bruschetta with tomato and basil…! We are sure that he will appreciate the gesture anyway... Happy Father's Day!
Sweet or spicy evening?
It's Valentine's Day and to surprise your sweetheart with an intriguing evening, you have decided to prepare a candlelit dinner consisting of aphrodisiac risotto with pumpkin, spicy gorgonzola, and amaretti grains.It’s too bad however that without our ingredients, the Spicy Gorgonzola cannot be done ... and goodbye spicy atmosphere too…!
Yes, because many of our ingredients are indispensable to make gorgonzola, such as lactic cultures, Penicillium roqueforti mould, yeasts, and rennet which is essential for the coagulation of milk.
Well come on, you can always save the pumpkin for next Halloween, romantic right?!
With or without yo…gurt
Imagine when you wake up in the morning, you turn on the radio with your favorite song playing, you heat your coffee over the fire, and take out your yogurt and berries from the fridge to prepare your favourite breakfast for yourself.But unfortunately our ingredients do not exist and without them, sadly even your favorite yogurt.
Oh yes, because two culture strains are essential to produce yogurt - Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus - without which it is just not possible to make.
Luckily though, your favorite song is still playin… Uh no, your internet streaming connection has just been cut off!
