Cheese Powder

What Is Cheese Powder?

Dried cheese powder is a dried product produced by drying fresh cheese and grinding it after the production process. Before drying, fresh cheese contains approximately 80% water. Through drying, the water content in the fresh product is reduced to very low levels. As a result of the drying process, approximately 1 kg of cheese powder is obtained from 5 kg of cheese. During the drying process, the water inside the fresh product is removed, leaving the cheese essence. Therefore, the nutritional values of dried cheese, especially protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and fiber content, are significantly increased.
We are the manufacturer of dried cheese and offer various size options;

How to Store Cheese Powder?
