We’ve made a significant breakthrough in the way people will taste and experience alternative proteins. At Nourish, through science and the process of precision fermentation, we build real animal fats that make alternative proteins cook, smell, and taste as delicious as the real thing, but animal free.

How did we do this? We zeroed in on the differences between plant and animal foods to identify the most potent fats and oils missing in the alternative protein space; the ingredients that make Wagyu steak so special, and ice cream so irresistible. Our team then engineered proprietary precision fermentation strains that can manufacture these potent fat molecules at scale and give alternative proteins an authentic taste and experience, animal-free.

This is only the beginning. We believe we are only in the infancy of how big the plant-based and alternative proteins market can really become, and we are excited about the potential of our fats to make a transformative impact on their products.
