Dairy ingredients for manufacturers

Laïta offers the agro-food industry a wide range of:

• fresh dairy products such as creams, hard cooked cheeses, soft cheeses, spreading cheeses, curd cheese, fresh pasteurised milk, cream cheeses…

• IQF frozen cheese ingredients presented in the form of slices, cubes, mini cheeses…

The packaging used is designed to suit the techniques and processes implemented in the factories. Laïta’s research and development teams work in close collaboration with its customers’ teams to provide a custom-made product. The avenues investigated during such exchanges may, for instance, concern the organoleptic quality, the composition and/or texture of ingredients, as well as their packaging.
