Melting Salts

BecorBarbanza has been characterized since its inception by the development of melting salts. The high production of phosphates has determined the search for products based on a mixture for the development of salts.

Our salts are characterized by their great emulsifying and dispersing capacity. BecorBarbanza’s polymeric phosphates have made it possible to make good, durable cheeses.

In recent years we have evolved in achieving optimal salts, responding to the demands of the processed cheese industry. QUEFOS salts have the appropriate characteristics that make them ideal for melting cheeses of any type, consistency and state of maturity.
