Cultivated Biosciences
Dairy causes 4% of global greenhouse gas emission. Plant-based alternatives, although gaining traction, don't appeal to many consumers, as they lack a creaminess for which the fat component is key. At Cultivated we want to fix this. We are developing an emulsion from yeast, which offers the creaminess needed for plant-based dairy, while enabling clean labels.
