OUR CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
FULLY REPLICATES THE SENSORY PROFILE OF
CONVENTIONAL MEAT.
The best of animal meat
but without animal
suffering!!
Crazy right?

We expand the capabilities of Cellular Agriculture to make delicious, eco-friendly, and affordable animal-free products that can compete with conventional meat in terms of taste, texture and structure.
These are real animal products but produced in a 100% animal-free way.

What is
Cellular Agriculture?
Cellular Agriculture is the use of cell cultures
to produce animal-sourced food products that
at the cellular level are exactly the same
as those harvested from an animal, like
your favorite burger, sausage or beef cut.
Amazing right?

What we offer
What we offer
What we offer
Currently we are improving the taste of current plant-based meat alternatives via our secret ingredient that we call TAMEE (The Authentic Meat-Eating Experience).
What we offer
We are also developing unique technology to combat the major obstacles that cultivated meat industry faces as it scales to mass production. We have proprietary technology to provide the taste, texture and structure of conventional meat to cultivated meat products.
We offer healthier, safer, ethical,
sustainable and affordable animal-free and eco-friendly products that can replicate and even improve the sensory profile of conventional meat.
Currently we are improving the taste of current
plant-based meat alternatives via our secret
ingredient that we call TAMEE (The Authentic
Meat-Eating Experience).
We are also producing hybrid plant-based/cultivated meat products with the right texture by using our unique Chilean algae-based scaffolding, and we are working in the technology to produce real cultivated steaks via one of its kind photo-printing technology, which also eliminates the need of growth factors, thus reducing tremendously the production costs of cultivated meat.
