FÆRM Receives €1.3M to “Democratize” Plant-Based Cheese with Fermentation Method

Danish plant-based cheese startup FÆRM has received €1.3 million in funding to further develop its patented fermentation method for plant-based cheese. The company aims to "democratize" plant-based cheese by providing a technology that allows food producers to create flavorful and high-quality vegan cheese without significant investments. FÆRM's process mimics traditional dairy fermentation using bacteria, enzymes, and proteins to replicate the taste and texture of dairy cheese.

FÆRM was founded in 2020 with the goal of revolutionizing plant-based cheese using science and legumes. The company has developed a technology that ferments legume-based plant matrices to create cheese without the need for additives or coconut oil. Other companies around the world are also using similar methods to compete with dairy cheese products in terms of taste and price. FÆRM's innovative approach to plant-based cheese production has the potential to make vegan alternatives more accessible and appealing to consumers.
