Milk has been sustaining humanity since day dot. From cow to bowl to banana smoothie, there are few foods that imbue the purity and satisfaction as milk across so many cultures. From our point of view, cow’s milk is the cream of the crop when it comes to meal times. The world’s expanding middle class and global population, is driving a protein demand that will need an evolution in dairy to help nourish the world sustainably. So we created a new way to make milk using microorganisms, naturally. Our natural method of fermentation separates the animal from the product while preserving and future-proofing dairy’s place at every kitchen table, in every cafe, and every ice cream cone.
