Everybody knows it,
But who says that you need to use animals to make them?
At Bon Vivant, we are rethinking the way milk is produce so that dairy industrials can make sustainable dairy products, while maintaining their incomparable quality and taste.
We combine French know-how with the principle of fermentation to create milk proteins sustainably so our clients can then turn them into the delicious dairy products we all love, without using animals. Pleasure without compromise.
We like good dairy products but not their impact on our health, our animals and our planet.
That's why the milk we make is:
Lactose and
cholesterol free
We are bon vivants but we take care of ourselves!
Produce
without animals
But retains its taste and nutritional qualities!
Respectful of
our environment
Respectful of our environment: its production emits very little GhG and requires far fewer natural resources such as water and agricultural lands
Humans have been using fermentation for centuries. The principle later developed by Louis Pasteur which allows us to make delicious bread or beer now gives us the possibility of making milk.
We follow 4 steps:
01.
We combine cow DNA with nutritional yeast.
02.
We give water, sugar and nutrients to our yeast.
03.
We recover the milk proteins produced by our yeast.
04.
We partner with our clients from the food industry to help them recreate the dairy products we love using our animal-free proteins.
F.A.Q
#1
What is a bon vivant?
A bon vivant is someone in a jovial mood, who likes to enjoy life and especially the pleasures of the table. Generally, without compromise, without concessions. We want to continue to enjoy our delicious dairy products, while being respectful of animals and the planet.
#2
Where does precision fermentation come from?
This method is a process that we have been using for centuries, and whose scientific understanding was made possible in the 19th century by the French researcher Louis Pasteur. Today, Bon Vivant honors this heritage and develops yeasts that produce milk proteins. Thanks to our yeasts, we produce milk proteins identical to those produced by cows.
#3
Does Bon Vivant's proteins contain hormones or antibiotics?
No, our proteins do not contain hormones or antibiotics. As we do not use animals, we do not find the inputs that are sometimes used in traditional dairy production.
