'Superbrewed Food' is a United States-based food tech startup most known for the dairy-free cheese it has been developing for several years. This cheese is made through a system of biomass fermentation that is similar to the fermentation process used in creating animal-free meat products. The practice of biomass fermentation is both scalable and sustainable, which piqued the interest of 'Bel.'
Bel is the French company most recognized for its 'Babybel' and 'Laughing Cow' global brands. Bel has entered into a partnership with Superbrewed Food that will result in bringing Superbrewed Food's cheese products to market. The Chief Venture Officer at Bel, Caroline Sorlin, stated "We are very happy to enter this exclusive collaboration, which is testament to our pioneering role and acceleration on disruptive technologies," which is in reference to the sustainability of biomass fermentation used by Superbrewed Food.
