Butter Buds Inc. introduced a line of ingredient solutions that helps food manufacturers serve up a creamy mouthfeel and rich cheese flavor. Butter Buds' new creamy product line offers a cream-forward cheese flavor profile with savory butter base notes, with a much lower usage rate than standard cheese powders to deliver unprecedented formulation flexibility, the company stated.

 “Butter Buds Creamy line extension is our latest innovation that allows for a one-product addition to achieve a two-flavor impact; creamy and cheesy,” said Michael Ivey, national sales director, Butter Buds. “We understand the pivotal role that creaminess plays in the overall taste experience of a product. Our new creamy product line is an exciting new solution that makes it possible for manufacturers to create satisfying and delectable foods without formulation headaches or rising costs. These innovative flavor ingredients provide a creamy richness with savory notes of different cheeses crafted to elevate a variety of food applications. Whether used in different sauces, soups, indulgent snack seasonings, or as novel flavor additions for ice creams, these new flavor ingredients deliver the consistency and exceptional eating experiences that will have consumers coming back for more.” 

Butter Buds dairy concentrates are made with real cheese for a well-rounded flavor profile—at a much lower usage rate than standard cheese powders, the company states. The flavor components of Butter Buds’ creamy product line are also balanced so it retains its creamy profile without veering too cheesy or salty, even if the usage is increased. Butter Buds’ real dairy ingredients add delicious flavor and improve texture while masking off-flavors to help deliver the products consumers will love.

“From enhancing other flavors to providing a richer mouthfeel, Butter Buds offers the formulation expertise, new ideas and ingredient solutions needed to help brands stand out in a crowded marketplace,” said Ivey. “Our incredibly talented food scientists and product development specialists are dedicated to helping manufacturers serve up crave-worthy products that satisfy today's ever-evolving consumer tastes.”
