Milk. The taste of Kinder.

Milk is one of the ingredients that gives Kinder products the taste you love, that’s why we take so much care in getting it just right.

Our quality Guarantee

Milk is a key ingredient in all Kinder products. Thus, we only use milk from carefully selected suppliers, consistently guaranteeing the milk’s taste, quality, and safety. When selecting suppliers our requirements are very strict and only around 30 dairies in the world have become Kinder long-lasting partners.
Milk Part 1

From farm to recipe

Milk Part 2

We use different types of milk across our products and for most of them we use powdered milk, obtained by removing most of the water.

After each milking, the milk is brought to a temperature of 4°C and shipped by tank to the dairy where it is tested. Here, the cream is separated from the milk to obtain semi skimmed and skimmed milk. The milk is analysed and standardized in fat and protein content. It is then pasteurized at 75°C for just a few seconds and cooled once again, to make sure it is safe and free from harmful bacteria.

Milk Part 2

To transform the liquid milk into powdered milk we take an additional step, where a careful hot air treatment allows most of the water content to evaporate. The entire process is completed within 48 hours of the milk’s arrival to the dairies, which allows us to maintain its taste and sensory characteristics. There are also other dairy products and milk derivates, such as anhydrous milk fat, whey, and milk protein, that are also used to make Kinder’s product taste so unique. 

Other dairy products

Anhydrous milk fat

Anhydrous milk fat is made from the cream that is separated from fresh milk. The cream is first pasteurized and then centrifuged to be transformed into butter. It is an ideal ingredient in the making of chocolates, fillings, and other confectionery products. Its creamy consistency and delicate flavour enhance products’ taste and smoothness.

Whey

Whey is a component of cow’s milk deriving from fresh cheese-making process. It is a highly appreciated ingredient, thanks to its special flavour and aroma.

Milk protein

There are two types of milk protein: caseins and whey. Either skim milk or whey, depending on the product desired, is passed through special filters that catch the proteins and create a "protein concentrate", which is then dried. We use small quantities of milk protein in Kinder Joy and Kinder Bueno White.

Working with suppliers we trust.

Milk part 3

We can trace all our milk back to dairy farms globally.

We collaborate with them to drive continuous improvement and encourage them to adopt best practices in milk production. This enables us to ensure and improve the quality of our milk.
