Over a Century of dairy process and global applications expertise have given Edlong the world’s largest portfolio of authentic dairy and dairy-free flavors.
Our comprehensive portfolio of Edlong dairy flavors improves classic taste profiles for Cheese, Butter, Sweet Dairy, Cream, and Milk, while also delivering unique functional value in the masking and mouthfeel of plant-based products. The Edlong team is agile and collaborative, ready to help accelerate product innovation and commercialization by applying the right building blocks to create dairy and dairy-free tastes that uniquely differentiate a brand.
At Edlong, we believe dairy can be indulgent, innovative and inspiring, and that the tastes of dairy can be a sales booster and a game changer. Our experience and our vision is why Edlong believes in Everything Dairy Can Be.
Edlong uses both dairy ingredients and non-dairy ingredients to create flavor profiles consumers want. Our concentrated cheese, butter, milk, cream, cultured, sweet dairy and other functional flavors deliver just the right intensity for your application, in a variety of forms and solubilities. With more than 250 authentic dairy-free and vegan flavors across all our flavor categories, Edlong flavors provide masking functionality to overcome bitter, metallic and other off-notes that plant-based ingredients and better-for-you additives can leave behind. When dairy commodities are reduced or eliminated, Edlong flavors can also be used to provide mouthfeel to add back richness and creaminess. The Edlong® Simply Dairy line is all natural and made from real dairy. These concentrated dairy blends naturally intensify flavor and deliver the foundational characteristics of dairy with a clean label. Edlong® Sweet Spot flavors are inspired by naturally sweet dairy products, and enhance the perception of sweetness and improve mouthfeel, while hinting at richness and indulgence.
