About
NewMoo, Ltd. is a food-tech startup founded in 2021 with the mission to provide milk proteins without the cow. The company utilizes plant molecular farming (PMF) to produce casein proteins in plant seeds, which are then harvested to create a liquid casein base. This animal-free liquid casein is hormone-free, naturally free of lactose and cholesterol, and replicates the functionality, taste, and texture of dairy cheese. NewMoo's technology is based on research and intellectual property from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel.
