MistyGlen has been a dairy producer in Belmont, Ontario since 1957, and with a new business expansion the family has created MistyGlen Creamery with the aim of producing artisanal yogurt and bringing local fresh dairy products to their community.
Project Summary
MistyGlen Holsteins was looking to produce an artisanal yogurt using their fresh dairy. They reached out to Fanshawe in order to aid with the selection and sourcing of appropriate, available, and effective bacterial cultures suitable for artisanal probiotic yogurt production.
The Challenge
MistyGlen was looking for a way to select and source an appropriate probiotic strain that would be suitable for artisanal, vat produced yogurt at their onsite local creamery.
The Solution
The research team at Fanshawe
- Produced a review of appropriate, available, and effective bacterial cultures based on MistyGlen’s vat processing requirements
- Identified and established a collaborative framework to streamline their start-up process
- Partnered MistyGlen with local academic and public sector partners to source probiotics for their business needs
