New Delvo®Fresh culture enables premium creamy, mild stirred yogurts

Consumers are looking for more indulgent, creamy taste from their yogurt. A new culture for stirred yogurt from DSM offers a unique combination of high-creaminess and mild taste that consumers are after in today’s market.

Yogurt is known for its nutritional benefits and healthy image, but taste and indulgence are also becoming increasingly important to modern consumers. Yogurts that are marketed as providing “double indulgence” or having a “soft and creamy texture” are increasingly popular, as are more dessert-like flavors such as chocolate, salted caramel, and raspberry cheesecake. DSM’s new Delvo®Fresh YS-140 culture provides a velvety mouthfeel and mild taste that deliver on the desire for more yogurt treats throughout the day.

"The new Delvo®Fresh YS-140 is the culture in our range with the best balance between high creaminess and mild taste, delivering to the desire for more indulgence and enabling more yogurt moments in the day."

Delvo®Fresh YS-140 is a high-performance culture with a fast fermentation time and limited post-acidification at 5°C, meaning it maintains a mild taste during its entire shelf life. It is suitable for all types of stirred yogurts, including flavored or plain yogurt, as well as yogurts with added indulgent flavors such as fruit. Thanks to DSM’s high production standards and expertise in fermentation technology, the Delvo®Fresh YS-140 also offers an attractive cost-in-use.
