What makes cheese so stretchy, ooey, gooey, and melty? Milk proteins! At Formo, the future of dairy, we recreate milk proteins using precision fermentation and churn them into animal-free, indulgent cheese. The end result is not “like” cheese, it IS cheese, but without the downsides of the dairy industry. Our mission is to replace 10% of European dairy by 2030. It is a highly silly mission but with the right people aka you, we’re sure we’ll get there.We are a fun, cheesy (obviously) and diverse team from 20+ countries, bringing together 90 superstar scientists and entrepreneur activists, in Berlin and Frankfurt — ready to change the face of dairy.
