Andina Ingredients, Caglificio Clerici and Sacco

Andina Ingredients has announced its appointment as the exclusive UK and Ireland agent for Caglificio Clerici and Sacco. Caglificio Clerici is the largest producer of rennet in the world and, since 2014, the world’s only producer of Kosher rennet. Sacco is a biotech company and is expert in the production and packaging of selected frozen and lyophilised microbial cultures.

Over the years, Caglificio Clerici and Sacco have built strong reputations in the following areas: dairy starter cultures – freeze dried and frozen, adjunct cultures, moulds, yeasts and surface ripening cultures, protective cultures, probiotics, and rennet, coagulants and other dairy enzymes.

Andina’s managing director, Bruce Phillips, says, “We are very excited by the opportunities that this new partnership brings to our customers. Not only will our customers have access to high quality, tailor made cultures and enzymes, but they will also benefit from first class, technical support. With access to technical expertise both in the UK and from the parent plant, our customers can expect advice on how to use our products to achieve faster, more efficient production. We can also help with product differentiation through customised taste and texture profiles.

“At a time when manufacturers are under ever increasing pressure to provide value-for-money yet highly differentiated products, we are confident that our experts have the production understanding and application skills to really make a difference. This new relationship is a great boost to Andina’s strategy of growing in the area of natural, speciality ingredients and is a perfect complement to our existing partnerships.”
