We’re rethinking everything. Starting with food. Using safe, proven fermentation methods we make animal-free whey protein from microflora – not cows – to make dairy that’s identical to traditional milk. The production of our whey protein emits up to 97% less greenhouse gas emissions, uses up to 99% less blue water, and uses up to 60% less nonrenewable energy, compared to the production of protein found in traditional milk. Our protein comes in a variety of applications including cream cheese, barista milk, ice cream, protein powder, egg replacer, bakery mix, confectionery, and gelato. Some of our partners in-market include Mars, Nestlé, Natreve, Brave Robot, Myprotein, Strive Nutrition, Nicks, Tomorrow Farms, Villa Dolce, Betterland, and more. It’s dairy that’s better for everything.
