Mozza


Mozza Foods is dedicated to creating plant-based cheese that is indistinguishable from traditional dairy cheese. Their mission is to produce cheese from plants using the same proteins found in cow's milk, but in a sustainable and animal-friendly way. They focus on innovation in plant-based proteins to offer products that melt, stretch, and taste like conventional cheese, while being better for the planet.

Products

Cheese produced from plant-expressed milk proteins

Cheese-like food products formulated from milk proteins expressed in plants, processed by extracting protein assemblies from plant biomass and combining with fats and water to recreate dairy functional properties.

Genetically modified soybean platform expressing caseins

Transgenic soybean lines engineered to express milk casein proteins used as feedstock for extraction and downstream cheese production.

Cheese made from milk proteins grown in plants

Cheese produced using milk proteins that are structurally identical to those from a cow, made by expressing cow DNA instructions in plants. This cheese melts, stretches, and tastes like traditional dairy cheese.

MozzaCasein

Micellar casein produced in soybeans, designed to perform like cow casein in cheese production, supplied as a drop-in ingredient for existing dairy manufacturing production lines.


Services

R&D activities focused on expressing, characterizing, and optimizing milk proteins in plants and developing downstream processing routes to create cheese-like products.
