Taste and texture enhancement
Elevate taste and texture
Premium ice creams start with exceptional taste and texture. Valio Eila® powders enhance scoopability and ensure smooth, creamy mouthfeel without artificial additives. Our lactose-free options also eliminate crystallisation, delivering consistently indulgent results.
Sugar reduction
Natural sugar reduction
As consumers grow more health-conscious, demand for reduced-sugar options continues to rise. Valio’s lactose hydrolysis process naturally enhances sweetness, enabling “less sugar” claims without artificial sweeteners. Our milk powders ensure appealing taste and smooth textures, even in reduced-sugar formulations.
Digestive wellness
Promoting digestive wellness
Digestive health is a growing priority, and lactose-free options are the answer for many consumers. With Valio Eila® lactose-free milk powders, you can craft ice creams that combine indulgence with wellness, offering rich taste and smooth texture without lactose crystallisation.
High protein
Powering high protein
High-protein ice creams are a top consumer trend, offering both indulgence and health benefits. Valio’s protein-rich milk powders make it possible to increase protein levels without compromising texture, ensuring smooth, creamy results that are low in fat and carbohydrates.
