FlavourFerm

Research project FlavourFerm is a groundbreaking EU-funded project aimed at revolutionising plant-based foods through advanced fermentation technologies.

By optimising flavour, nutrition, and bioavailability, we strive to meet demand for delicious, sustainable, and healthy alternatives to animal-based products. The mission of FlavourFerm is to leverage cutting-edge fermentation technologies to transform the taste, texture, and nutritional value of plant-based foods. FlavourFerm envisions a future where plant-based options are easy choice for sustainability without compromising on flavour.
