Recipe

Move to a fully plant-based concha and reduce your environmental footprint. Our innovative solutions include our dairy butter alternative solution and a plant-based bakery mix that enables the replacement of 100% egg and significantly reduce the fat content. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), using the EU-supported 'Product Environmental Footprint' methodology, confirmed that our butter replacement has three times less environmental impact compared to dairy butter. This lowers the demand for vegetable oil, egg and dairy thereby reducing associated CO2 emissions.
