DalterFood Group taps into vegetarian cheese demand

As consumer interest in ethical and plant-forward eating accelerates, DalterFood Group is doubling down on its commitment to high-quality vegetarian cheeses.

The Italian dairy leader now offers an expanded portfolio of products designed for food industry professionals, retailers, and foodservice operators eager to respond to shifting dietary preferences.

The company’s vegetarian cheese range spans everything from mature Italian classics — such as Vegetarian Pecorino and Spinoro — to custom grated blends.

All are produced using microbial coagulants, not animal rennet, making them suitable for vegetarian diets without compromising traditional flavour or function. The line-up is available in a variety of cuts, including flakes, cubes, fillets, and more, offering flexibility for both production and presentation.

For manufacturers and ready-meal developers, DalterFood Group said its vegetarian blends and single-variety cheeses open up new possibilities for reformulating recipes or launching vegetarian options.

Grated blends melt evenly and brown reliably, making them ideal for lasagna or baked pastas, while grated Vegetarian Pecorino adds depth to sauces — such as vegetarian Cacio e Pepe. The company is also advancing packaging innovation, offering single-serve Spinoro in recyclable sachets designed to cut waste and add convenience to soups and salads.

Foodservice operators can benefit from the versatility of these cheeses, which streamline kitchen logistics and support menu creativity. Grated mixes are well-suited for stuffed pastas like ravioli, while Spinoro flakes lend a balanced aromatic note to pizzas, focaccias, and sandwiches. Pecorino cubes, meanwhile, work as a simple upgrade for appetizers, pairing easily with grilled vegetables or crostini.

On the retail front, DalterFood Group aims to help partners broaden their vegetarian offerings. Products such as Spinoro wedges work for snacking or at-home aperitifs, while smaller tubs of flakes or cubes suit salad toppings or quick meal prep.

Grated Vegetarian Pecorino comes in resealable doypacks, ensuring both convenience and product freshness. The range of formats is designed to meet modern cooking habits and expand shelf appeal for vegetarian shoppers.

With this push, DalterFood Group is positioning itself as a go-to supplier for professionals looking to serve a growing segment of consumers who want both taste and responsibility on their plates.
