Why it matters

Replicating this deliciousness of animal fat will push us one step closer to perfecting alternative foods.

With alternative proteins rapidly developing, animal-free meat and dairy is a living reality. Still, there is one missing piece. Fats give meats and dairy the rich and delicious flavour we know and love. Replicating this deliciousness without the animal will push us one step closer to perfecting alternative foods.

How it works

Proprietary yeast strain enables delicious fats to be brewed without any animals.

Nourish tailors the DNA of yeast and then ferments them in specially calibrated environments to create fats with customised textures and flavours. By producing fats using synthetic biology, they not only can mimic the flavour of meat but create a sensory experience that goes beyond that.
