Dairy as nature intended.
Strong legacy going back to 1956.
Smooth creamy flavor and texture.
Cultures suitable for organic.
End products with a consistent quality.
As the trend for a milder, more subtle yogurt flavor continues to grow among health-conscious consumers, our Bigarde™ and Bioghurt® cultures offer manufacturers a genuine competitive advantage. Take advantage of both recognized brands and label your organic dairy!
Not only do these dairy cultures deliver a wonderfully mild, clean and smooth flavor in organic dairy, but the latest Bigarde™ and Bioghurt Direct-Vat Cultures (DVC) range can be added directly to the milk vat during processing, greatly improving your efficiency.
What’s more, because of their low post-acidification profile, these cultures have excellent shelf life stability in organic dairy compared to traditional equivalents.
While the trend for health & wellness may be relatively new, the science behind Bigarde™ and Bioghurt is long-proven. Both are established yogurt brands in their own right across Northern Europe (especially in Germany and the Netherlands) and were created by the respected German scientist Joseph Schwaiger back in 1956.
More than 60 years later our team at dsm-firmenich is continuing his great work in enabling you to produce healthier food for everyone.
