Mozza Foods
Producing animal protein in plants, starting with dairy protein—to create real dairy cheese that stretches, melts and tastes like cheese should, without the cow
About Mozza Foods
Mozza Foods operates in the rapidly growing plant-based food market, focusing on producing plant-based cheese that mimics the taste, texture, and melting properties of traditional dairy cheese. The company targets environmentally conscious consumers and those with dietary restrictions who seek sustainable and ethical food options. Mozza Foods uses genetically modified soybeans, known as Cheesebeans, to produce milk proteins in plants, replicating the caseins found in dairy milk. This innovative approach allows the company to create cheese that is virtually identical to its dairy counterpart in terms of flavor and functionality.
Mozza Foods' business model revolves around direct-to-consumer sales, partnerships with food service providers, and collaborations with retail chains to distribute their products. Revenue is generated through the sale of their plant-based cheese products, which cater to a growing demand for non-dairy alternatives. The company also emphasizes its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a greener world by offering a sustainable alternative to traditional dairy cheese.
