This High-Protein Vegan Cottage Cheese Is Made From Upcycled Apricot Kernels

Austrian food tech startup Revo Foods has launched a high-protein vegan cottage cheese made from fermented, upcycled apricot kernels. The new product, COTTAGE PROTEIN+, contains 17g of protein per cup and is made with just four ingredients, including vegan cultures for fermentation. The plant-based cottage cheese is approximately 40 percent soft apricot kernels, which are often discarded during the processing of apricots for other products like jams and snacks.

Revo Foods aims to promote sustainability by utilizing waste kernels as a key ingredient in their vegan cottage cheese, putting circular economy principles into practice. The company's innovative approach to plant-based dairy alternatives focuses on fermentation to develop texture, acidity, and flavor in the product, resulting in a simple yet nutritious option that appeals to health-conscious consumers. COTTAGE PROTEIN+ is currently available in Germany and will soon be offered in the UK through an online supermarket platform.
