Cheese, Food Science, Microbiology, Materials Science, Brand, Manufacturing, Sustainability, and Protein Chemistry
Plonts makes plant-based cheese that stinks. We do this because cheese is one of the most resource-intensive but also addictive foods. Plonts cheese won’t save the world, but it will probably hurt it less. And if everything is going to shit and nothing we do matters, at least we can get some nachos out of it.
