First plant-based cheese alternative made from potatoes
The rise of plant-based food is a significant game-changer for the food sector. Consumers are increasingly leaning towards food without animal products. Aviko Rixona, a leading producer of potato products, is tapping into this trend by harnessing the potential of potatoes. In 2022, the company introduced Potato Cheezz, the first plant-based cheese alternative made from potatoes.
Salt-free, fat-free, and rich in natural fibers
Potato Cheezz looks like cheese, tastes like cheese, and has a similar texture to cheese. What makes Potato Cheezz unique is that it is salt-free, fat-free, rich in natural fibers and lactose free.
This makes it suitable for industrial lactose free applications with reduced fat and salt content, aligning with the growing demand for plant-based and environmentally friendly food.
