The Israeli foodtech company Wilk introduced the first hybrid yogurt based on cultured milk fat, identical to cow's milk fat.
In doing so, Wilk becomes the first company in the world that has the capabilities to continue developing non-cow cultured dairy products.
This is a breakthrough that will bring us closer to preparing different foods, independent of the cow.
also suitable for vegans,
The product was sent for testing by a certified external laboratory, which checked and confirmed that the developed cultured yogurt passed the required chemical and biological tests.
Later, the company will supply the dairy industry with the cultured ingredients for the preparation of the various dairy products.
The CEO of Wilk, Tomer Eisen, shared: "This is a significant breakthrough in the development of the company, as this is the first yogurt of its kind in the world that contains an essential component that was developed and produced through the epithelial cells (the tissue that covers all the external surfaces of the body), and is an essential layer in dairy products.
This process brings the company one step closer to its goals, which are the development and production of real dairy products independent of the cow, while protecting the environment."
