Future-Facing Dairy-Free Cheeses

Those Vegan Cowboys Launched Cheese Made with Microbial Caseins

— December 22, 2022 — Lifestyle
The Belgium-based animal-free dairy brand Those Vegan Cowboys have announced its first animal-free cheese crafted with a premium recipe that focuses on the future of the industry. The cheese is crafted using microbial caseins and with the brand's precision fermentation machinery known as Margaret, which is a cow crafted out of metal. The cheese product is focused on the future of the dairy market and uses dairy-identical caseins that are obtained via the brand's precision fermentation process to ensure the utmost attention to a high-quality product.

Project Director Will van den Tweel spoke on the Those Vegan Cowboys cheese saying, "Thanks to the caseins, the cheese of our stainless steel cow potentially has comparable texture and other properties dairy cheese has. And yet it is completely free from animal products. Any cow-free cheese is now possible.”
Trend Themes
1. Animal-free Dairy - The development of animal-free dairy products using precision fermentation technology presents an opportunity for disrupting the traditional dairy industry.
2. Microbial Caseins - The use of microbial caseins as a substitute for dairy-based caseins creates a new ingredient market for food tech companies.
3. Precision Fermentation Machinery - The use of precision fermentation machinery like Margaret for creating dairy-identical products has a potential for disrupting various food industries including cheese, yogurt, and ice cream.
Industry Implications
1. Dairy Alternatives - Companies that produce dairy alternatives, such as plant-based milks, could expand their product lines to include dairy-free cheese made with microbial caseins.
2. Food Tech - Food tech companies that specialize in precision fermentation technology could leverage this method to create a new niche market for animal-free dairy products.
3. Vegetarian and Vegan Foods - Vegetarian and vegan food companies can innovate their product offerings to expand into the dairy market without using animal products using microbial caseins and precision fermentation machinery.
