CHALLENGE

Limited availability of high-quality, organic plant‑based cheese alternatives

TECHNOLOGY

Development of fermented, clean‑label plant‑based cheese for foodservice

POTENTIAL

Enables tasty, functional and sustainable dairy alternatives at scale

Goal

The aim of this project is to develop a new series of organic plant-based cheese alternatives for foodservice:

  • Good, natural taste
  • Good functionality when used in cooking
  • Strong nutritional profile (high in protein, high quality fat, no allergens)
  • Clean label (no use of preservations, focus on fermentation derived ingredients for flavour and functionality)
     

Plan

The project will be composed of 5 work packages

  • WP1 Mapping, screening and selection of raw materials
  • WP2 Mapping, screening and selection of natural ingredients
  • WP3 Development of Proof-of-concept at lab scale
  • WP4 Development of Proof-of process at pilot scale
  • WP5 Industrialization & launch
     

Expected results

  • Minimum two alternative raw materials identified for each main group of raw materials
  • Preferred set of ingredients for fermentation, biopreservation, enzyme treatment, natural flavour is settled
  • Proof-of-concept obtained through 2-4 alternative prototypes
  • Proof-of-process obtained ready for transferring to industrial scale
  • Organic product range is fully upscaled and is successfully launched to endusers through Foodservice partners
