About

New Culture is leading the global change to an animal-free dairy future. We’re revolutionizing how cheese is made by combining traditional cheesemaking methods with modern fermentation technology. Using our groundbreaking science, any cheese is possible and can be made completely animal-free. First up is our craveable, sustainable, animal-free mozzarella that melts, stretches, bubbles, and browns to perfection. With a completely animal-free process, our cheese is free from lactose, cholesterol, hormones, and antibiotics and we cut down on water, land, energy usage by 5-10x. Not bad for a slice of pizza. We believe our food choices can transform our food system and help heal the planet, one cheese at a time. The animal-free future of dairy is here—and it’s delicious.
