Daiya Invests in Natural Fermentation for Plant-Based Cheese Manufacturing
Daiya has announced a multi-million-dollar investment in fermentation technology that will enable it to create a plant-based cheese that is reportedly tastier, meltier and stretchier than any other on the market. The investment is expected see the company lead the marketplace with a traditional fermented plant-based cheese across its portfolio.
By combining traditional cheese-making methods with modern technology, Daiya is making a plant-based cheese with similar characteristics to dairy-based products. As many brands in this category explore GMO techniques such as precision fermentation, Daiya states that it is perfecting the art of plant-based cheese making with an investment in natural fermentation. The fermentation site will sit in the company’s production facility in Burnaby, British Colombia, the largest stand-alone plant-based facility of its kind in North America, states Daiya.
