Wauconda, Ill., Feb. 24, 2026 – Synergy Flavors, part of Carbery Group and a leading supplier of flavors, extracts and essences for the global food and beverage industry, today announced the launch of authentic dairy flavors – an expansion of our dairy flavor technologies – designed to deliver rich, true-to-dairy taste with improved formulation efficiency, cleaner labels and measurable cost-in-use benefits. 

Developed to meet the growing demand for balanced, complex and authentic dairy profiles, the new technology leverages Synergy’s decades of dairy expertise, proprietary mouthfeel technologies, and deep understanding of customer formulation needs across savory applications. Synergy’s dairy-containing flavors include real dairy components that enhance mid-body and base notes, creating a full, authentic dairy experience across cheese, butter, cream, buttermilk, milk and more profiles.  

The flavors are available in multiple formats, including powders, spray-dry formats, emulsions and pastes, and are designed for stability in challenging processing conditions such as retort, high heat, and acidified systems. The authentic dairy solutions support greater consistency across production batches and cleaner labels.  

Early customer applications like buttermilk ranch, indulgent dips and sauces and cheesy seasonings, have demonstrated significant benefits, such as up to 37% reduction in dairy commodity usage, improved flavor impact and consumer preference. 

Samples and demos are now available for product developers and innovation teams to taste the difference and learn more about Synergy’s new authentic dairy flavor solutions. Contact us for more information.
