For the food industry, the rise of plant-based foods has been a game-changer. Aviko Rixona, a well-known manufacturer of dried potato products, was eager to investigate the prospect of deriving even more added value from potatoes in light of this advancement.
In this respect, the business has recently introduced Potato Cheezz, a cheese manufactured from potatoes, as the first product on the market. Potato Cheezz resembles cheese in terms of appearance, flavor, and texture. The brand-new item is lactose, fat, and salt-free.
“This makes Potato Cheezz many times healthier than cheese and all other plant-based cheeses. Potato Cheezz is completely in line with the growing consumer demand to eat vegan and eco-friendly,” according to a company press release.
Potato Cheezz is the best cheese substitute for snacks, finger meals, and meat-substitute fillings. For usage as a gratin or topping for pizza, there is a particular variety of Potato Cheezz available. Blocks of this Potato Cheezz weigh ten kilograms each.
Over the past 100 years, Aviko Rixona has grown to become a leading, globally operating producer of dried potato granules and flakes. Rixona supplies its products to various industries in the food sector in more than 60 countries on all five continents. Aviko Rixona is part of Aviko and Royal Cosun.
Owned by some 8,400 sugar beet growers, Royal Cosun is a leading international agricultural cooperative that has been operating for almost 125 years. Royal Cosun’s mission is to unlock the full potential of plants within a transparent, circular process and turn them into valuable, plant-based solutions.
