The emission-reduction benefits of shifting to plant-based eating are well documented. Yet many people are still deterred by the taste of plant-based food. Or rather, its lack of taste. Plant-based food is often missing exactly what people crave the most: umami. This is where we come in. We have developed a natural way of using food technology to create plant-based umami from plant food side products. In this way we also tackle another aspect of the food system that we believe needs to be fixed: wasting edible food.

Melt&Marble is a plant-based industry enabler focused on producing alternative fats that enhance the taste and quality of plant-based foods. Utilizing precision fermentation, the company engineers microbial metabolism to create fats that mimic the structure and properties of traditional animal fats without the need for animals. By developing yeast cell factories through advanced bioengineering techniques, Melt&Marble enables food manufacturers to formulate plant-based products that are both healthy and flavorful, effectively bridging the gap between plant-based and animal-based food experiences.
