Taste and texture enhancement
Elevate taste and texture
Premium ice creams start with exceptional taste and texture. Valio Eila® powders enhance scoopability and ensure smooth, creamy mouthfeel without artificial additives. Our lactose free options also eliminate crystallisation, delivering consistently indulgent results.
Sweetness without compromise
Milk powders that provide natural sweetness are essential for meeting consumer demand for cleaner labels indulgence. Achieve a balanced sweetness without sacrificing flavor or quality. Valio Eila® powders allow you also to optimize ice cream scoopability. In addition to this, lactose free milk powders also prevent lactose crystallisation and ensure a pleasant mouthfeel.
Sugar reduction
Natural sugar reduction
As consumers grow more health-conscious, demand for reduced sugar options continues to rise. Valio’s lactose hydrolysis process naturally enhances sweetness, enabling “less sugar” claims without artificial sweeteners. Our milk powders ensure appealing taste and smooth textures, even in reduced-sugar formulations.
