Wagyu beef, truffles or lobster. As burgers have become a culinary playground of gourmets, more sophisticated ingredients have found their way to the bun. These ingredients not only add interesting and surprising flavours, they also serve as a platform for storytelling, which gives a profitable business edge in a highly competitive market. If you want to go gourmet, upgrading your cheese is good place to start.
The right cheese for the job
At Arla – a farmer-owned dairy cooperative with Nordic roots – we’ve been making quality cheeses for decades. Now, we’ve handpicked the ones best suited for burgers and put them through a rigorous testing process to make sure they live up to the demands of professional burger chefs. We’ve tested for taste, smell and look. We’ve tested for meltability and stretchability. We’ve even tested how the cheeses look, feel and taste after 20+ minutes in a hotbox. Just to see how well they would perform in delivery or “on the go” food. This is why we’re dedicated to burger perfection.
