Calsi - High-quality products for market introductions

Calsi‘s need

As an innovative beverage company bringing a refreshing Japanese yogurt flavor to the market, Calsi develops a versatile, dairy-free syrup that makes it easy to create unique and exciting beverage concepts.

Calsi approached NIZO with the need for flexibility and growth potential in production of a low pH concentrated syrup.
