We’re on a mission to enrich the lives of everyone we touch.

Edlong is an innovative and globally recognized leader in dairy and dairy-type flavors. We exist to make the food scientist shine. The same goes for the brands we steward—we believe wholeheartedly that we play a role in feeding the world in a healthy and indulgent way.

Early in our history, shortly after the Great Chicago Fire, our founder was called upon by the Mayor of Chicago. He said, “Our people are starving; you must help to feed them.” As the only operational bakery in town, we did. Today, we proudly continue that legacy. Over 100 years later, across generations, and through busts and booms, this mission to touch lives is still at the heart of our business. Both within Edlong and outside of it, we strive to make lives better. “You are only as successful as the lives you touch."

We believe that if we can assist in delivering an analog milk that is economical, flavorful, and full of nutrients for a family who really needs it…or a decadent chocolate with an inspiring message on its wrapper just when you needed to read it, we create community around the table.

It’s our goal to be a part of that brand you love, find comfort in, or feel nostalgic about. Whether you are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-loving or lactose intolerant, we believe you deserve the joy that comes with delicious-tasting food. And that begins and ends with flavor. When you work with Edlong, you not only get unmatched dairy flavor expertise, but also a team that truly cares about your success. We are different from any other flavor house—we treat our customers like family, naturally build long-term relationships, and remain committed to managing our business in ways that put our customers first. We are proudly woman owned, independent, and growing; this allows us to maintain a longview and the freedom to be agile. We pride ourselves on exceptional concierge service that is always customer focused. The cornerstone of all of our relationships is trust. We have your best interests at the forefront. We do not disappoint.
