Noma, hailed as one of the world’s best restaurants, is joining forces with Novonesis, the global leader in biosolutions, to take deliciousness to the next level. Together, they’re fusing culinary craft with biology to create products that are healthier, tastier, and better for the planet.
At the intersection of biology, science, and food innovation, the partnership will work to scale deliciousness and inspire consumers and producers to think differently about what food can be. This also involves exploring the potential of biosolutions in the development of new products within the Noma Projects line.
Said René Redzepi, Founder and Co-Owner of Noma: “We need to inspire the world to eat in new ways, and I believe that flavour is the change factor for this. Deliciousness is our superpower at Noma, and in partnership with Novonesis, we can take our imagination, our knowledge, to unlock incredible new flavours and bring them to people’s homes around the world.”
The collaboration between Noma and Novonesis brings together two global leaders in fermentation. Novonesis has over 100 years of fermentation experience and applies the science in its work with the world’s leading food companies. Noma uses fermentation to develop new flavours in entirely new ways.
Added Repzedi: “Without fermentation, Noma would be a very limited version of itself.”
The two also share a deep local approach, where origin and community shape every bite. Noma is famous for rediscovering local ingredients, while Novonesis works with customers to meet local taste profiles and preferences by using biosolutions to adjust sweetness, umami, and bitterness in food and beverage products.
Concluded Andrew Taylor, Executive Vice President of Food & Beverage Biosolutions at Novonesis: “What it means to be delicious varies by location. That’s why we have local labs all over the world. By teaming up with Noma, we are taking our knowledge of taste and texture to the next level, creating foods that are healthier, more flavourful, and better for the planet.”
To address some of the challenges faced by the global food industry, the partnership combines Noma’s creativity with Novonesis’ expertise in harnessing the power of microbiology with science. For more visit FiE, Paris stand # 40H90 or at novonesis.com
