A new approach to performance
Most fats on the market come with trade offs in functionality, consistency or sustainability. Melt&Marble was founded to change this.
Melt&Marble designs next generation fats and lipids. Through precision fermentation and advanced lipid design, we create high performance ingredients that elevate sensory experience, functionality and sustainability. Grounded in science and built for real world supply at scale, we help brands deliver products that perform and connect with today’s conscious consumers.
We design lipids on the molecular level, allowing us to produce fats with controlled composition and functionality, supporting performance across both food and personal care.
Our technology gives precise control over which fatty acids are produced and how they assemble onto fat molecules. Precision fermentation is a proven and safe technology used in industry for decades, enabling a reliable path to scale.
Why we need better fats and lipids
For the planet
Conventional vegetable fats and oils account for 20 to 30 percent of global crop lands. They are a major driver of deforestation and biodiversity loss. More efficient production methods are needed to reduce pressure on land and ecosystems.
For supply resilience
Vegetable fats are sourced from tropical regions and global supply chains depend on production in a small number of countries. Climate related volatility can affect supply and pricing.
For better functionality & health
There is a growing need for fats that combine defined functional properties - such as texture, melting behaviour and sensory performance - with improved nutritional and health profiles.
Why our solution works
sustainable production
our fats can be produced with minimal land use and through simpler, more resilient supply chains.
healthier
our fats are free from animal derived components, cholesterol, trans fats and antibiotics. Fatty acid composition is controlled by design.
versatile
by design
our platform allows us to design customized fats for different categories and applications.
built for scale:
fermentation uses established industrial infrastructure and provides a reliable path to scale.
cost-effective:
we can compete on pricing with both existing and newer fat-production technologies.
