This podcast episode explores the journey of New Culture, a company dedicated to revolutionizing the dairy industry with animal-free mozzarella cheese. Driven by environmental concerns and a desire for sustainable food options, co-founders Matt Gibson and Inia Rodman leverage precision fermentation technology to produce casein proteins, the key component responsible for cheese's distinctive qualities. New Culture aims to address the unsustainable practices of traditional cheese production, reduce the environmental impact of animal agriculture, and provide consumers with a delicious and ethical alternative to animal-based dairy products.
