Grassland provides one-fourth of the U.S. butter supply and uses large quantities of milk in the process. From the remaining components of the butter-production process, the company produces ultra-filtered milk.
Drying the protein element yields milk protein concentrate and milk protein isolates, both branded NutraPro™ Specialty Custom Ingredients.
The lactose and ash from the milk are further managed to produce Nutrose™ brand milk permeate powder. Other ingredients include dried and liquid buttermilk, liquid skim condensed, skim milk powder, nonfat dry milk, cheese, cultured dairy ingredients, or your own custom blend.
