Company That Creates Vegan Cheese With Same Method As Dairy Receives €1.3M Funding

Danish food tech company FÆRM, which has developed a method of vegan cheesemaking that closely mimics that of dairy, has received €1.3M funding from the BioInnovation Institute. The company plans to use this funding to continue developing and producing its vegan cheese products with the mission of revolutionizing and democratizing plant-based cheese.

FÆRM incorporates patented food science alongside traditional dairy cheesemaking methods to produce the next generation of plant-based cheeses. They have already developed fresh mozzarella, brie, and cream cheese using soy, but plan to incorporate other legumes for more nutritionally dense and soy-free cheeses. This advancement in vegan cheese technology aims to make vegan cheese more affordable, tasty, and nutritious, addressing the current lack of nutritional value in many dairy-free cheese options available in supermarkets.
