Complete mozzarella expertise
The only portfolio spanning cultures, coagulants, enzymes, bioprotective solutions, and phage management—engineered to meet every mozzarella need.
Master mozzarella with dsm-firmenich
The most versatile portfolio for mozzarella production, boosting taste, texture, consistency, control, shelf life, and yield.
Greater control. Better cheese. Increased profits.
Mozzarella production demands precision. Even small shifts in milk quality, acidification, or curd structure can affect yield, taste, texture, and shelf life—and with them, profitability.
At dsm-firmenich, we bring every element together. Our mozzarella cultures, coagulants, and complementary solutions are engineered to meet all your mozzarella needs, giving cheesemakers measurable control over yield, taste, texture, and process efficiency.
Backed by decades of dairy science, we help producers master every variable—turning complexity into precise, predictable, and premium mozzarella performance.
Benefits
Proven yield efficiency
Fast, consistent acidification with stronger curd structure to deliver higher moisture, less whey loss, and up to 1.7% more cheese.
Tailored functionality
From pizza-perfect melt and signature stretch to reduced browning and enhanced flavor, fine-tune functionality for any mozzarella style or market with customizable solutions.
Reliable process stability
Phage-robust rotations and rapid testing keep fermentation steady and lines running.
Lasting texture and quality
High-specificity coagulants and pH-stable cultures maintain structure, elasticity, and flavor integrity. Our coagulants help stabilize texture over shelf life—ensuring consistent taste and texture throughout extended shelf life for mozzarella performance optimization.
Sustainable performance
Higher yield, less cutting waste, and extended shelf-life mean smarter resource use—better for profits and the planet.

The winning combination: Delvo®Cheese CP-500 + Maxiren®EVO
Delvo®Cheese CP-500 and Maxiren®EVO work in synergy to deliver measurable gains in mozzarella production efficiency, quality, and yield.
Delvo®Cheese CP-500 drives fast, reliable acidification and promotes a strong, uniform curd structure that locks in water and minimizes fat loss to whey. Meanwhile, Maxiren®EVO—a 100% chymosin coagulant—selectively and precisely converts αs1-casein into αs1-i-casein, supporting faster, more consistent curd knitting and superior water binding for better moisture distribution and improved emulsification. When combined, they enable up to 1.7% higher yield from the same milk volume, greater processing flexibility, and stable texture that holds through shelf life.
