Dairy By Nature

For optimal taste and indulgence, our Dairy by Nature solutions enhance or replace dairy flavour, aroma and mouthfeel while masking off-notes. 

Suitable for dairy-based and plant-based recipes, we help brands create products that deliver a more complete expression of dairy. 

Our technical know-how combined with our rich, dairy heritage means we can offer truly stand-out solutions.

More Authentic. More Consistent. More Complete 

Consumers want great-tasting products created from trusted, authentic, natural foods and flavours. Our range of solutions label as natural flavour and include options with pasture-to-plate transparency, dairy-full and dairy-free credentials to meet evolving consumer needs.

 As industry leading dairy experts we have an ideal perspective on what it takes to create great dairy flavour across a wide range of categories from bakery to beverage, dairy to savoury and even nutrition.

We can reduce fat to meet nutrition targets or dairy ingredients to manage costs, all while maintaining rich flavour and mouthfeel. We can address challenges common in nutrition and plant-based products by helping to smooth grittiness and neutralise off-notes such as bitterness, acidity and astringency. 

Dairy by Nature for plant-based products 

Deliver a richer experience.

Plant-based products present added formulation complexity when trying deliver a well-balanced profile.

From managing off-notes from plant-based ingredients and fortification, to creating a creamy, dairy-like flavour and mouthfeel, we can help address these challenges.

Dairy by Nature combines natural flavour with masking and mouthfeel technologies to create the most true-to-nature solutions.

Dairy by Nature for dairy-based products 

Fermenting a better way.

Unlike typical dairy flavours that simply add a singular top note, such as cheese or condensed milk, our solutions are encapsulated using proprietary dairy technologies for optimal performance.

Richly layered with fermented dairy ingredients and natural flavour, our dairy solutions provide a more authentic, complete and consistent taste experience.

 Capturing the essence of natural dairy ingredients

As a dairy co-operative owned group, we work in partnership with nature.

With over 130 years of flavour expertise and a rich dairy tradition, we are in a unique position to bring you Dairy by Nature, a dairy portfolio of solutions to help you make better tasting, more authentic products.
