Nobell Foods is creating cheese and other dairy products from plant-derived dairy proteins for the 99% of people who are unwilling to compromise on taste and price. Worldwide dairy production accounts for 40% of global livestock emissions. In the US, the dairy industry is responsible for 2% of the nation`s greenhouse gas emissions. And a growing chunk of that dairy consumption is coming from cheese. Our team is made up of passionate scientists, explorers, and storytellers on a mission to radically change the way we make food, so it`s better for you, the animals and the planet. We are backed by Bill Gates` climate fund Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and Robert Downey Jr.`s footprint coalition.
