Introducing NOVA | Star Quality, Made for the Mix
With margins tighter than ever, operators are under pressure to keep quality high while keeping costs under control. We know cheese isn’t just another ingredient—it’s often one of the biggest investments on the menu. That’s why we created NOVA: a value blend built to deliver real savings without cutting corners on performance.
What sets NOVA apart is how it blends effortlessly with other cheeses, like our premium Prima blend or full-dairy Elite - backed by Prima’s technical expertise, NOVA is a smarter, more reliable way to get more from every block.
Why Mix Cheeses?
Mixing isn’t a compromise; it’s a strategy. Whether you’re working with premium full dairy cheese or a high-end blend, combining products can:
- Extend stock – making premium cheese go further
- Control costs – achieve artisan-style performance at a lower price point
- Customise melt and stretch – create the exact finish you want
- Enhance flavour balance – pair rich, creamy dairy with subtle cheddar notes
The reasons for mixing might be different from the next operator’s – and that’s exactly the point. NOVA is designed to work with you, not against you.
What Makes NOVA Perfect for Mixing?
- Corto Shred (4mm) - for artisan-style presentation
- 66% cheese enhancing composition - for excellent stretch, melt and longevity
- Subtle cheddar flavour - to lift taste without overpowering
- Cost-effective blend, delivering real savings without sacrificing quality

NOVA + Prima
Performance + efficiency, without compromise.
Ratio | Result | Technical Notes |
50% NOVA / 50% Prima | Performs just like Prima | High stretch retained, minimal blistering, strong structure. NOVA mimics Prima’s qualities, prolonging stock without performance loss. |
70% NOVA / 30% Prima | Softer, smoother texture | Maintains Prima’s high stretch and flavour, but with softer mouthfeel—great for pizzas needing a creamier bite. |
Summary: Mixing with Prima allows operators to extend premium stock and control costs while still delivering the performance customers expect
NOVA + Elite
The best of both worlds: full-dairy taste + functional stability.
Ratio | Result | Technical Notes |
50% NOVA / 50% Elite 80/20 | Balanced performance | Reduces Elite’s natural blistering, extends sheen retention, and prolongs stretch. Maintains Elite’s creamy taste with added stability. |
70% NOVA / 30% Elite 80/20 | Enhanced functionality | Further reduction in blistering, softer texture, longer-lasting stretch. Preserves Elite’s flavour while improving its performance. |
Summary: Mixing with Elite improves aesthetics and stability, while retaining the authentic full-dairy flavour profile.
