Chr. Hansen, Inc.
Chr. Hanson of Milwaukee will launch its Fresco DVS® 1000 Culture Program at the Cultured Dairy Products Conference held May 24-25, 2005. This line of direct vat set (DVS) cultures for cottage cheese is meant to provide manufacturers improved performance, activity, and production efficiency. Dairy specialists developed the Fresco DVS 1000 Program using
a combination of mesophilic and thermophilic cultures for greater phage resistance. The cultures were designed to compete directly with bulk starter, and promote a faster acidification. The new Fresco products, consisting of five phage rotational cultures packaged in one-bag-per-vat pouches that set 1,000 gallons per pouch, provide consistent set times, quality curd texture, make procedures, and cook times.
