Israel's Brevel and Vgarden Team Up to Add Taste to the Alt.Cheese Market
Brevel, an Israel-based company, has partnered with plant-based food manufacturer Vgarden to develop non-dairy cheese. Vgarden currently uses pea or wheat protein in their products, but they are looking for a protein alternative that does not affect the taste of their mild-tasting cheeses. Brevels algae-based microprotein is expected to provide a solution for this. The partnership aims to create top-notch vegan cheeses that closely resemble their dairy counterparts in taste and texture. Vgarden plans to incorporate Brevels protein in all of their cheeses, including mozzarella and cheddar. They also have plans to enter the U.S. market and are in negotiations with sales and distribution companies. The partnership between Brevel and Vgarden is expected to drive growth for both companies.
