Tezza

Fermentation was the first human biotechnology to convert simple ingredients into incredible foods: milk into cheese, pork into prosciutto, grains into beer and bread. Tezza is a public benefit corporation that discovers and designs microbial communities to transform inexpensive plants into new categories of sustainable fermented foods. This approach allows us to create plant-based foods that are absurdly delicious and less expensive than animal-based counterparts. We are starting with the most resource-intensive and addictive dairy product: 🧀. Founded by two people making it up as they go, Tezza is supported by mission-driven investors and an incredible team of crazy smart people willing to do whatever it takes to build a sustainable world out there, and a very human organization here.
