Crino® Buttermilk Powder
Agropur’s Crino buttermilk fits into a wide range of applications including bakery products, beverages, dry mixes, snack foods, and confections. Buttermilk powder is made by removing water from liquid buttermilk. Dry buttermilk is a light cream color with a clean, natural flavor.
Removing moisture from buttermilk curbs microbial growth and delivers a shelf life of six to nine months. Replacing fluid buttermilk with buttermilk powder makes transportation and storage easy.
