When it comes to fats, we don’t have to choose between performance, ethics, and sustainability.
Is it possible for a burger made without animal products to be equally delicious and satisfying as a burger made with beef? Or for a luxury moisturiser to be both good for our skin and completely sustainable? Absolutely- Melt&Marble provides an uncompromising solution.
The secret is to design fats that deliver that irresistible, heavenly mouthfeel for our palates and that nourishing, protective layer for our skin, without hurting animals or the planet.
We use precision fermentation to create designer fats that have the desired functionality, flavour, and nutritional profile. We achieve this by rewiring the metabolism of microbes to produce specific fats. Our technology gives us the ability to control the types of fatty acids that get produced and how they assemble to form specific fat molecules (triglycerides). This approach gives us an unparalleled ability to design fats on a molecular level. Precision fermentation is a safe technology platform and has been widely used in industry for decades.
Our mission is to catalyze the transition to a more sustainable agrifood system by supplying different industries with the ultimate designer fats- made to measure to offer sustainability, performance, and scalability.
