DSM has launched Greek Legends, a range of new yogurt cultures for Greek and other thick and creamy yogurts.

based on DSMs DelvoFresh Pure range, the cultures support yogurt producers to create or reformulate Greek yogurt and expand into the growing range of more indulgent yogurts that are thick and creamy. The cultures provide more options to create high protein, sweeter or creamier yogurts, with firmer textures, ranging from mild to authentic tastes.

They also promise high pH stability, adding further value to producers looking to extend product shelf life.

Mark Fahlin, global product line manager for fermented milk products at DSM, says, "With the drive for more growth and differentiation, now is an excellent opportunity for the yogurt industry to make the most from yogurt cultures. The Greek Legends cultures address the markets needs to develop more flavourful, creamier and protein rich products to help manufacturers diversify their ranges, while enabling them to improve product quality and shelf life stability in one solution."
