Melt&Marble uses precision fermentation to create animal fat alternatives for the food industry. The company employs synthetic biology and metabolic engineering to build proprietary yeast strains, with microbial metabolism that dictates the structure and properties of the fats produced, allowing precise mimicking of animal fat characteristics. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, Melt&Marble has raised approximately $14.6M in Series A funding from investors including the European Innovation Council, Nordic FoodTech VC, Lever VC, Paulig, Beiersdorf, Valio, and Industrifonden. The company's technology enables production of animal-free fats that replicate the taste, texture, and cooking properties of traditional animal fats for use in plant-based meat and dairy alternatives.
