27 Nov 2017 --- DSM has announced the latest addition to its Swiss cheese portfolio, Delvo Cheese SW-250. Created to answer consumer demand for tasty, ready-to-use Swiss cheese, the new culture delivers excellent flavor, consistent quality, more efficient production and reduced ripening time for mature Emmental-type cheeses.

Swiss cheese continues to grow in popularity worldwide, because of the increasing demand for flavorsome, conveniently-packaged processed cheese, with characteristics such as longer shelf life and improved sliceability. Meanwhile, traditional production processes have struggled to meet the growth in demand for tasty products that can provide these attributes in an affordable, efficient way.

Delvo Cheese SW-250 has been developed specifically for the efficient manufacture of mature, firm-textured Emmental-type cheeses, and guarantees consistent end-product quality, sensory profile and signature eye formation while creating cheese with distinctly Swiss, isovaleric and clean notes. Eric Aubree, Marketing Manager Cheese, comments: “Delvo Cheese SW-250 perfectly complements our Delvo Cheese SW range, creating a complete solution that can maintain desired flavor while also facilitating faster, more cost-effective and controlled Swiss cheese production.”

Delvo Cheese SW-250 adds to DSM’s portfolio of Swiss cheese cultures, that also includes a propioni bacteria offer, enzymes, and coagulants to provide the answer to successful Swiss cheese production, reducing ripening time and increasing productivity and yield to improve affordability. It offers consistent and robust acidification at high temperatures with a low dosage, helping cheese manufacturers meet rapidly changing market needs and enabling better food for everyone.
