The EL BLANCO black cod alternative has been announced by Revo Foods as a plant-based fish product crafted with a realistic taste and texture to make it a suitable option for replacing conventional seafood. The product is crafted with a combination of mycoprotein fermented fungi protein along with microalgae oils that work together to create an authentic taste and texture. The product is manufactured through a new 3D extrusion method that achieves a layered texture to give the appearance of a real scaled fish filet.
Head of Food Tech at Revo Foods Niccolo Galizzi spoke on the EL BLANCO black cod alternative saying, "We believe that for real change, sustainability and culinary pleasure must go hand in hand. We are already working on the next innovations with mycoprotein, which is a lot of fun using 3D structuring technology since it offers many possibilities to design the product exactly to the liking of consumers. We like to focus on taste and nutrition, but also on what makes the culinary experiences so unique: Getting the texture and authentic mouthfeel right.”
