Opalia Announces “First Ever” Commercial Supply Agreement for Cell-Based Dairy

Opalia, a Canadian cell-based dairy producer, has announced a groundbreaking commercial supply agreement with major dairy ingredient provider Hoogwegt. This deal, claimed to be the first ever of its kind, will run for the next two years and aims to create sustainable cell-based dairy products with global reach. Opalia's innovative technology will be combined with Hoogwegt's expertise in dairy products and global markets, paving the way for the commercialization of cell-based dairy products.

Founded in 2020, Opalia is known for creating real milk without cows using patent-pending technology. The company plans to offer a range of sustainable, cost-effective products like butter, cream, cheese, and yogurt. By eliminating fetal bovine serum from its production process, Opalia has managed to significantly reduce its production costs. With a purchase order from Hoogwegt and interest from other large food and dairy corporations, Opalia is preparing for scaling, commercialization, and further partnerships with commercial partners and investors to bring its innovative cell-based dairy products to market.
