PLANT-BASED TASTE BASE FOR SEMI-HARD CHEESES
We offer a variety of original plant-based flavoring blends for the production of semi-hard cheeses, designed to add new, refined aromas and taste profiles to your products.
Innovation!
A taste blend from Dobra Idea is a combination of plant-based ingredients and carefully selected flavor components.
Each flavoring blend includes a mix of several substances to achieve the most natural effect possible.
Cheeses made with our taste blends retain their natural flavor and aroma, complemented by a subtle note of the added plant ingredient. If needed, the blend can also gently balance the cheese’s flavor profile.
The cross-section of the cheese reveals a unique pattern formed by selected plant fragments.
We use natural plant-based raw materials that undergo special microbiological treatment to eliminate the risk of contamination during ripening.
Leading cheese producers, following the trend of exploring new market opportunities, increasingly experiment with flavor — our taste blends support this direction by offering innovative solutions.

MILK-CARAMEL FLAVORS
When milk is heated for an extended time, lactose reacts with amino acids from proteins (Maillard reaction), forming melanoidins and sulfur compounds that give the milk a caramel-like note. This natural aroma is found in traditional Polish “Kajmak”, Norwegian “Brunost” cheese, Ukrainian “Ryazhenka” drink, and the classic Crème brûlée.
Advances in technology now allow the creation of natural blends with truly authentic, dairy-based flavor profiles.

FAQ
Find answers to the most important questions.
There are clear advantages to using Dobra Idea’s taste carriers. Here are some key reasons:
Resource efficiency. Preparing your own flavor-aroma blends can be time-consuming and requires specific conditions, equipment, and expertise — especially with a limited workforce. Artisan methods also often result in the loss of costly aromas.
Skills and equipment. Producing high-quality blends requires professional know-how and specialized equipment that may not be available in-house.
Quality. Professionally produced taste carriers are made under strict safety and quality standards. We conduct thorough testing of each product before launch, including raw material selection and flavor/aroma optimization. Artisan blends typically lack a key feature — a stable aroma deposit within the plant ingredient.
Convenience. Buying a ready-made product saves time and effort — from sourcing and processing ingredients to storage.
Variety. We offer a growing range of proven blends. Each has been tested and validated under real production conditions.
That said, preparing your own taste carriers can be an exciting challenge, allowing room for experimentation and creative development. It might become a valuable skill — or even a rewarding hobby.
When adding plant-based ingredients to cheese curd, there is a potential unacceptable risk of contamination with Clostridium spores if no specific protective measures are applied.
The plant materials in our taste carriers undergo special processing to eliminate microorganisms, including spores of various Clostridium strains. However, even the most thorough treatment cannot fully guarantee the complete absence of spores. During cheese ripening, anaerobic conditions may develop, which can promote the activation of Clostridium spores.
For this reason, we strongly recommend the use of lysozyme when producing cheese with our taste carriers.
