Solutions with Inclusions for Dairy
Where texture meets dairy indulgence
The most memorable dairy products don't rely on flavor alone. Crunchy, chewy, creamy or layered textures can transform everyday products into more engaging and rewarding experiences. AGRANA's solutions with inclusions combine flavorful bases with carefully selected textural components to create dairy concepts with visible character, sensory contrast and a distinctive identity.
Designed for a wide range of dairy applications, these solutions offer both consumer appeal and manufacturing confidence. Whether used in yogurts, desserts, layered products or drinkable formats, they help create products with appealing texture, reliable performance and clear differentiation on shelf.
In spoonable yogurt, skyr and other fermented dairy products, the right inclusion can turn an everyday product into a small moment of indulgence. Chocolate pieces, cereals, seeds or biscuit elements bring visible differentiation and textural contrast to stirred or layered concepts – giving consumers something to look forward to in every spoonful.
Texture in a drinkable format is a balancing act – enough to be noticed, not so much that it gets in the way. For drinking yogurt, kefir, skyr drinks and smoothie-style beverages, inclusions can introduce a subtle but distinctive sensory layer that sets a product apart while keeping it easy and enjoyable to consume.
From puddings and mousses to cheesecake-style products and semolina desserts, texture plays a central role in how indulgent a dairy dessert feels. Inclusions add visual drama, a stronger dessert character and the kind of cross-category inspiration – brownie, pie, bakery-style bites – that makes a product feel more considered and complete.

Formulation insights
How inclusions perform in dairy depends on how they interact with the base preparation and where they enter the process. Our solutions can be adapted to suit different dairy formats and eating experiences:
Spoonable applications
• Even inclusion distribution and stable suspension are the foundation of a satisfying texture in every spoonful
• Direct dosing into fermented milk products such as yogurt and skyr is a key processing scenario
• Inclusion size, density and base viscosity all shape how inclusions are perceived in the finished product
Drinkable formats
• Controlled flow behavior and product consistency take priority, while still delivering a noticeable sensory effect
• Inclusions are designed to remain evenly distributed without compromising pourability or dosing through bottles and pouches
• Suitable for drinking yogurt, kefir, skyr drinks and smoothie-style dairy beverages
Dairy desserts and specialties
• In layered or composite dairy desserts, inclusions contribute visual structure and textural contrast across the product
• Cake and biscuit pieces bring bakery-inspired directions – cheesecake, brownie or pie-style concepts – within easy reach
• Chocolate splits, crunchies and nut-based inclusions reinforce indulgent and premium dessert positioning
