As consumers increasingly favour responsible food choices, DalterFood Group—the Italian dairy specialist—has reaffirmed its commitment to offering high-quality cheeses tailored to evolving lifestyles.
Among its extensive portfolio is a full range of vegetarian-friendly cheeses, designed to keep pace with shifting dietary trends and to provide retailers, food manufacturers, and food-service operators with versatile, flavourful products. At the heart of this selection are Italian aged cheeses produced with microbial rather than animal rennet, such as Pecorino Vegetariano, with its bold, lingering taste, and Spinoro, whose delicate, rounded flavour blends seamlessly with other ingredients. Carefully sourced from trusted partners and available in formats ranging from shavings to cubes and strips, they are suited to both industrial and culinary needs. Complementing the line are vegetarian grated cheese blends, developed to perform well in seasoning, gratin, melting, and browning.
READY MEALS: PREMIUM INGREDIENTS IN SMARTER PACKS
For food manufacturers, DalterFood positions itself as a valuable partner in creating or reformulating ready meals with a vegetarian twist—without compromising on flavour or Italian tradition. Its grated blends melt smoothly between lasagne layers or crisp evenly on top, while grated Pecorino Vegetariano adds depth to prepared sauces, including vegetarian takes on classics such as cacio e pepe. To reduce waste and improve convenience, ready-made soups and salads can be paired with single-serve sachets of Spinoro shavings or nuggets—packaged entirely in recyclable plastic.
FOOD SERVICE: EFFICIENCY MEETS CREATIVITY
For restaurants and caterers, DalterFood’s vegetarian cheeses offer practical ways to expand menus and appeal to a broader clientele. Different formats make kitchen prep simpler while maintaining flavour and quality. Grated blends are ideal for stuffing fresh pasta such as ravioli and cannelloni; Spinoro shavings enhance pizzas, focaccias, and sandwiches with a balanced aromatic touch; and cubes of Pecorino are a natural fit for antipasti and aperitifs, paired with grilled vegetables or crostini.
RETAIL: EVERYDAY VEGETARIAN CHEESES IN HANDY FORMATS
In supermarkets too, DalterFood has become a reliable partner for extending shelf assortments with everyday vegetarian options. Spinoro wedges lend themselves to at-home aperitifs or cheese boards, while small tubs of shavings or cubes add flavour to simple salads. Grated Pecorino Vegetariano, sold in resealable doypacks, offers both convenience and a distinctive kick for pasta dishes, while the variety of formats ensures consumers can find the cut best suited to their cooking habits.
With its wide-ranging portfolio, rigorous sourcing, and focus on quality, sustainability, and changing consumption patterns, DalterFood Group continues to position itself as a reference point for those seeking to innovate their offerings with products that reflect the tastes of a more discerning and diverse public.
