What is whey powder?
Whey powder is made by drying the whey left after cheese making. It is rich in lactose and carries whey proteins and milk minerals.
Demineralised whey has part of its natural minerals removed. In D40, about 40% of the minerals are taken out, which gives a milder, less salty taste for sweet applications such as chocolate, confectionery and dairy desserts.

About 40% of the natural minerals removed, for a cleaner, less salty taste.
