How can I get more from my mozzarella?

Where science meets stretch

Mozzarella may look effortless on a slice of pizza but producing it consistently is a real art form—one that depends on mastering countless variables. Even minor shifts in acidification, curd knitting, or pH can affect yield, texture, and shelf life. When margins are tight, those small details matter more than ever.

That’s why at dsm-firmenich, we see precision as the foundation of creativity. With science on their side, cheesemakers can channel their craft into producing more mozzarella that performs flawlessly in production and delights on the plate.

Our solutions are designed to make that possible. The synergy between our Delvo®Cheese CP-500 cultures and Maxiren®EVO coagulant is a shining example. Engineered to work in harmony, these solutions help you measurably improve mozzarella production efficiency and consistency, as well as create a stand-out product that delights consumers.

Mozzarella production efficiency: a perfect partnership

With Delvo®Cheese CP-500 phage-robust cultures support faster, more consistent acidification and improved moisture retention, delivering more efficient processing, higher yield, and stable performance across rotations. Maxiren®EVO, meanwhile, is a 100% chymosin fermentation-produced coagulant that selectively cleaves and converts αS1-casein into αS1-i-casein, supporting faster, more uniform curd knitting. The result is a stronger structure with improved emulsification and water binding, reducing fat and protein loss for mozzarella that slices and shreds cleanly. It also leads to minimal moisture loss and stickiness during processing and storage.

Individually, each performs their purpose perfectly. Together, these cheese coagulant and culture solutions set the benchmark for modern mozzarella efficiency. Their combined ability to enhance moisture retention and distribution delivers a mozzarella yield increase of up to 1.7% from the same milk input, while ensuring smoother processing and a consistently firm texture from day one to the end of an extended shelf life. It’s a partnership that turns precision into performance and performance into profit.
