I guess it was out of habit that when I needed milk solids to make white chocolate I bought Nido brand. There is no doubt that it is a respected brand with good taste, but now I am wondering if my choice is outdated.
Does anyone have another preference? I am interested in low-fat dried milk but also product that has reduced lactose (milk sugar) so I can make a chocolate that is more teeth friendly.
The Danisco Minolac 2 is the only product available. LOL - if I can get Danisco to wake up their sales department!

Late-breaking news re milk solids: I hear that the Danisco Minolac2 is not being made any more. OUCH! That cost a few million more cavities. Hope it will come back on the market some day.
I was going to use the Danisco Minolac2 to make milk chocolate with low cavity sugars . I guess the question now is where can we get low-lactose milk "flavoring".

I use DariFree in my white and milk chocolate, with pretty good success: it's totally dairy-free (as the name implies), and it has a light vanilla taste to it, which I think enhances the final flavor.

joyojoy - Thank you! Getting a sugarless milk solids product is proving one of the more difficult parts of my teeth-friendly project.
If they give ingredients - is there any sugar listed? I assume there is no lactose but is there any sucrose, glucose, fructose, etc? Those are no-nos for teeth but finding a milk solid that has none of the bad sugars is hard to do. Any one else know of a good-tasting milk substitute? Dont be bashful; speak up please. :>))

I just checked vancesfoods.com (as joy mentioned in another forum and as turns up from a google search for darifree) and found the nutrition info for darifree there: www.vancesfoods.com/darifreeorgnutrition.htmlMade from potatoes! Anyone got any tasting notes of the milk substitutes (potato, rice, soy, oat, goat, etc)?
