Welcome to Melt&Marble
From day one, all of us at Melt&Marble (formerly Biopetrolia) have been looking to provide solutions to some of today’s sustainability issues. That’s why we exist.
It all began in Jens Nielsen’s Systems and Synthetic Biology group at the Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden. A group known for its in-depth knowledge and world-leading expertise in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering of microbial cell factories decided to make a change.
Initially, the company was a patent-holding company for the research group, financed by providing yeast engineering services.
In 2021, we pivoted to focus on creating the best possible fats for the sustainable foods of the future. The world needs to change….
Our vision
Animal-free foods address a critical challenge for climate change and health. Meat and dairy products are highly palatable, but also high in cholesterol and responsible for around 20% of global greenhouse emissions. Melt&Marble’s mission is to be part of the solution.
With our technology, we can fulfill our vision to be an enabler for the industry by providing the best and tastiest fats for consumers and the planet.
