Mozza Foods
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.
