Personally I prefer the flavour of plant-based alternatives over dairy milk. So I don’t see myself having any interest in buying it.
However, if they can engineer milk proteins for cheese production than I am very excited. Casein proteins are biochemical miracles and no plant-based cheeses are able to mimic the protein matrix in cheese properly. Instead they end up relying on starches to set, which isn’t the same at all.
I wonder how it’ll do on cost… and regulatory progress in other countries.
Will be watching with interest.
Probably will be something outrageous like $12 for a liter, but who knows.
This is fucking awesome. Genuine game changer for the world.
The first I heard about this, and the first I heard about exponential growth in batteries and solar was years ago by a man named Tony Seba. It’s great to see the only person that is optimistic, and wildly optimistic at that being the one that right.
You can find his videos on YouTube and his company Rethinkx. Rethinkx doesn’t have as easily digestible content as his older presentations but it’s good.
Yeah, good to see optimism and hope pay off!
If they make casein that’s pretty cool, since it’s the thing that vegan cheeses suck at replicating. It’s responsible for a lot of the texture that regular cheese has, including how it melts and stretches.
Their connections to Israeli companies and big agribusiness execs is gross though.
This is the best thing I’ve seen in a while. And it’s even sugar free by default, astonishing!
very cool, ive been thinking about this sort of thing for a while. hopefully this can scale well enough and eventually incorporate fats, water, and other milk components that this industry could replace the traditional dairy industry. it could possibly be a huge benefit for the environment
