Millbrook Dairy announces new partnership with ZZA IQF Mozzarella in UK
Fast-growing, innovative dairy business, Millbrook Dairy Company, has announced that it has partnered with ZZA IQF Mozzarella to bring its products to the UK’ Bakery sector.
Millbrook, which saw a 30% increase in turnover in 2021/2022 with revenues for the year up from £20m to £26m, is expanding into the mozzarella market with ZZA, part of the Geris Food Group, based in The Netherlands.
The high-quality, premium IQF mozzarella product is 100% pure and fresh dairy mozzarella that comes packed in a handy cubetti and julienne format for ease of use and less wastage.
It carries no starch, which not only prevents the cheese from burning, but gives it a superior taste and eating experience. It also means fewer calories giving significant benefits and opportunities back to bakers. It is also available with vegetable oil blend.
The IQF mozzarella is individually quick frozen to lock in the highest quality in taste and freshness, texture, and shape, and comes packed in bags of 2kg with a shelf-life of 18 months.
Citing the product as a significant step for Pizza and Pasta restaurants as well as a great ingredient for cooking with and using in toppings, Kevin Beer, Co-founder of Millbrook Dairy Company said:
“This is a truly exceptional and exciting product to hit the Bakery market. The product is simply amazing, it melts easily for an even spread on your pizza and colours beautifully, without burning.
“It’s also competitively priced, and we are delighted to work with Geris on this project in the UK. The cubetti and julienne form makes it easy to handle and you can use as much - or as little - as you need each time and so less food waste. We can offer steady and flat pricing to new customers with no surprise price increases unlike other cheese products in the market which are susceptible to significant price fluctuations.
“We would encourage bakery operators to try this product and please don’t hesitate to get in touch as we’d love to send you samples to try.”
Hans Daamen, Mozzarella Specialist at ZZA, said:
“Our Individual Quick Frozen (IQF) mozzarella is a high-quality mozzarella which is made according to a unique and dynamic production process with no starch and less preservatives. The cheese is (IQF) frozen to maintain optimal functionality and results in mozzarella with maximum stretch, meltability and taste.
“We’re delighted to work with Millbrook Dairy bringing our product to the UK, as we know that the team has the customers and contacts to sell our innovative product into the Bakery sectors.”
ZZA IQF Mozzarella is usable in all types of ovens and grills including conveyor, deck and traditional ovens.
