Abstract
A method for preparing a cultured dairy product comprising: blending water, ultra-filtered milk and other ingredients to establish a dairy base, fermenting the dairy base to establish an intermediate yogurt product, adding a fat into the intermediate yogurt product, and blending the fat and intermediate yogurt product to produce a high fat and low carb yogurt. The amount of lactose in the dairy base is minimal, basically just enough to enable fermentation. On the other hand, instead of maintaining a low fat level, the fat, preferably a milk fat from butter, is added to increase the overall fat content to establish an overall high fat, low carbohydrate finished yogurt product.
Claims20
A method of making a cultured dairy product, comprising:
- fermenting a dairy base to form an intermediate cultured dairy product;
- cooling the intermediate cultured dairy product to arrest further growth of bacteria used in the fermentation step;
- separating the intermediate cultured dairy product to produce a separated intermediate cultured dairy product;
- passing the separated intermediate cultured dairy product through a cavitation unit to form a cavitated cultured dairy product having enhanced creaminess;
- and
- packaging the cavitated cultured dairy product.
