Dairy alternatives are arriving into the market in droves, but a new yogurt from Wilk makes use of cell-cultured milk fat as a way to mimic dairy products in a more authentic way.
The yogurt is made using cell-based technology, which consists of milk fat cultured from cells to retain the inherent macro and micronutrients of dairy. This could help to dramatically reduce the reliance on cow-sourced milk and offers a more sustainable option.
CEO Tomer Aizen spoke on the yogurt made with cell-cultured milk fat saying, "It has long been established that milk fat is integral to supporting human health and nutrition, aiding the absorption of key nutrients, such as vitamins D and E and calcium, into the blood while providing a rich source of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties. These core properties cannot be replicated through alternative technologies, making Wilk the first company in the world to develop a dairy product containing genuine, cell-cultured milk fat."
