Whether your goal is expanding your portfolio, building brand leadership, or creating your next success product, Valio’s high-protein and lactose-free solutions provide a proven path forward.
Two growth trends in one
Consumers are increasingly seeking products that deliver digestive comfort together with added nutrition, such as high-protein options, and they are willing to pay a premium for them.
Challenge
Developing high-protein products with excellent texture and taste can be difficult due to undesirable off-flavors and grainy textures commonly associated with protein fortification.
Solution
With Valio’s high-protein ingredient portfolio, you can easily create protein-enriched products that deliver superior taste and a smooth mouthfeel without compromise.
High protein lactose free milk made easy
With Valio Fast Track™, dairies can quickly launch a consumer-validated, premium milk concept that delivers:
- 9 g protein per 200 ml glass (18% of daily need)
- 200 mg calcium (25% of daily need)
- 31% less sugar than standard milk
- Zero lactose for digestive comfort
- A creamy, fresh taste just like regular milk
And all this without heavy upfront investments in R&D, equipment, or process development.
Backed by strong consumer demand
Consumer tests confirm the appeal of high protein lactose free milk:
- Families with children are among the strongest potential target groups.
- 86% of respondents in the UK and 83% in Saudi Arabia said they would buy the product after tasting it and learning about the concept.
“With Fast Track™, Valio provides more than just a technical solution. Our team supports customers in positioning, insights, and go-to-market planning, helping dairies take the fast lane into new value-added categories.”
– Dennis van der Veer, Head of Sales
