Top trends
Stability
Developed with the support of the Lakeland Dairies Technical Chef team, Millac High Stability Dairy Cream has been created to meet the increased requirements placed on chefs. The enhanced stability allows for a longer shelf life, the higher whipping yield helps reduce portion cost and the improved consistency means you can expect a quality product from every pack.
Awareness
According to Agriform export manager, Chiara Giussani, another trend in the regional dairy market is related to growing consumer awareness of the quality and safety of products with special attention to animal welfare on farms. In light of this, Agriform members are carrying out the “Sustainability Project”.
Organic
Consumers now expect to see certain labels and, increasingly, organic is one of them. Since 2016, Agriform has been producing organic Asiago and organic Parmigiano Reggiano. In 2018 a greater organic range will be available with Grana Padano and other PDO cheeses in the near future.
The organic logo guarantees that the cheese is produced according to strict rules aimed at respecting the environment and animal welfare. An annual inspection of the producer takes place once a year by control bodies or control authorities to ensure they are respect all organic rules and all health and consumer protection rules.
Farm animals should be freely grazing in the open air and should be treated according to enhanced animal welfare conditions. As for food, there are strict limitations on the use of chemical pesticides and fertilisers or antibiotics.
