Food tech startup Savor recently launched handcrafted confections made with carbon-based, animal- and plant-free butter in San Francisco. Developed in collaboration with ONE65, the products quickly sold out at the event, with lines forming early and hundreds of bonbons being sold within hours of display. Three flavors, all vegan-friendly, are now available for purchase at the patisserie, with presales for nationwide distribution starting on Savor's website.

Savor's butter is produced using a proprietary fermentation-based process that converts captured carbon dioxide, green hydrogen, and methane into structured fats, bypassing the traditional agricultural cycle. The product has received GRAS status from the USDA, allowing it to be distributed commercially in the US. According to Pierre Coeurdeuil, Senior Manager of Strategic Partnerships at Savor, the technology's versatility allows for customization of fatty acid profiles, creating options from dairy-like butter to sustainable palm oil alternatives.
