UHT cream

UHT Cream

Our Whipping Cream is renowned for its stability, producing consistent rosettes in cream cakes and tea macchiato toppings. 

Application: Our cream products are used in about 400 million beverages and 260 million cakes each year, and in some popular products such  as KFC’s egg tart.

Cream cheese

Cream Cheese

Cream cheese is one of the key high-value products for Fonterra’s Foodservice business. Demand for cream cheese is growing in China and Southeast Asia on the back of changing Asian diets. The rise in demand is mostly being driven by an expanding middle class and growing appetite for cream cheese in a wide range of applications from bakery to beverage. Fonterra’s global advisory chefs and regional market teams actively work in markets to design  products for customers. 

Application: Our cream cheese goes into outlets such as bakeries, restaurants and tea houses, and is used in the fusion of traditional Chinese pastries like mooncakes and other beverage applications such as the topping cream on tea macchiatos.

Processed cheese

Processed Cheese

Our portfolio of processed cheese includes Slice on Slice cheese and string cheese, which are supplied through our brand or manufactured to customer specifications. 

Application: Our Slice on Slice processed cheese is served in billions of burgers at some of the largest Quick Service Restaurant brands such as McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC and Subway. Our manufacturing sites can produce enough cheese for up to 3 billion cheeseburgers each year.

Individually Quick Frozen Mozzarella

Individually Quick Frozen Mozzarella

Our Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) Mozzarella is one of the highest quality cheeses used in pizzas. With technologies developed by Fonterra Research and Development Centre, our natural mozzarella can be produced in just six hours, rather than the traditional time  of three months. 

Application: Our IQF mozzarella is topping millions of pizzas from some of  the world-famous pizza chains  such as Pizza Hut. The use of IQF mozzarella in hot pots and dumplings is also becoming increasingly popular in China, driving the demand for IQF mozzarella in this market. Each year, our manufacturing sites can produce enough cheese for up to 500 million pizzas.

Lamination Butter Sheets

Lamination Butter Sheets

Our Lamination Butter Sheets are specifically designed for bakery applications to create  soft and flaky pastries.
