FeelGood Kefir “highly commended” at Beverage Innovation award show
Reinvent an ancient dairy product with intrinsic health benefits and get a head start in a new global trend.
Our new eXact® Kefir12 culture was awarded in the Best Beverage Ingredient category at the 2015 World Beverage Innovation Awards.
The culture contains 12 live bacteria and combined with a Yoflex® culture it reinvents the kefir category with a tasty “super” kefir containing 14 live bacteria.
Kefir is a fermented dairy product with a strong heritage and health halo. Originating from Eastern Europe, it is now gaining ground as a new global trend.
“A few years ago we launched eXact® KEFIR1 and KEFIR2 cultures for classic kefir. These cultures have shown to add value to many of our customers in Eastern Europe and Eurasia. We are now seeing Kefir successes in the Western and Asian dairy markets such as the US, Canada and China.
We believe that our new culture eXact® KEFIR 12, which is the technical solution behind the awarded “FeelGood Kefir” concept, will fit this trend in the new kefir markets with a softer and milder taste,” says Lasse Vigel Joergensen, Global Marketing Manager.
