CHEESEMAKING / COLOURS
Colours

Annatto and beta-carotene for yellow and orange shades in cheese and cheese products.
Colour in cheese products
Cheese products may lose their natural colour during milk processing and production. Food colours can adjust the shade and achieve the desired appearance.
EcoColor offers annatto- and beta-carotene-based colours for different cheeses and cheese products, selected for the recipe and processing requirements.
