FT Cheese is Lacto Asia’s processed cheese manufacturing arm — a brand new, state-of-the-art factory in Singapore built to Japanese quality standards. Lacto Oceania is now bringing three core diced cheese types into Australia — each tuned for a different heat behaviour, so you can match the cheese to the application.

The Range

Three cheeses, three heat behaviours

Heat Stable Cheese

Retains shape upon heating — maximum stability.
