FrieslandCampina Introduces New Premium Vegan Whipping Agent
FrieslandCampina recently launched the latest vegan innovation in their whipping agents portfolio: Kievit Vana-Monte V98. The versatile whipping agent is a new vegan solution for bakers to use, making it attractive to vegan as well as non-vegans (flexitarians). Desserts manufacturers can make desserts such as a chocolate or fruit mousse, and ice cream based upon Kievit Vana-Monte V98.
The Kievit Vana-Monte V98 provides a superior sensory experience through a clean spotless taste, creamy mouthfeel, and an excellent flavor release. It also delivers perfect aeration, a high overrun with up to a 400% increase and good acid-stability. Furthermore, it is simply convenient. The product comes with vegan and gluten-free label options and is powerful even at low dosage. The key applications such as Crème Chantilly and fruit mousse are very simple to make yet very irresistible and indulgent, making it easy to turn recipes into new consumer favorites and to personalize it with different flavors and toppings.
Recent research conducted by FrieslandCampina and published in their annual Trend Report confirms the growing interest in plant-based alternatives. FrieslandCampina has been seeing this trend develop over the past five years and anticipated with a vegan positioned portfolio back in 2016. The launch and latest addition to that portfolio through the Kievit Vana-Monte V98 emphasizes the growing interest in plant-based alternatives shows no sign of stopping in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consumers are not only more aware of their health but are also showing increased interest in the source of their food, alongside a craving for a more varied and balanced diet.
“We are seeing the global trend for more plant-based alternatives transfer more and more to the bakery, desserts and ice cream industries and we are delighted to support our partners and consumers all over the world with giving them a vegan alternative for the perfect Crème Chantilly and sweet or acidic mousses”, says Suzanne van den Eshof, global head of marketing Food Industry at FrieslandCampina.
