Cell-based dairy moves closer to market with Opalia-Hoogwegt tie-up

Opalia, a Canadian start-up, has entered a partnership with Hoogwegt to advance the commercialization of its cell-cultured milk technology. This collaboration could potentially pave the way for cell-based dairy products to enter the market, ranging from cheese to ice cream. As consumers increasingly demand sustainable and ethical food sources, Opalia is positioning itself at the forefront of a dairy revolution. The company believes its innovative approach could transform the dairy industry by offering an alternative that does not require animal farming, thereby reducing the environmental footprint and addressing animal welfare concerns. With this move, Opalia is not only targeting the traditional dairy market but also the growing sector of dairy alternatives. If successful, this venture could shift the dynamics in global dairy production and consumption.
