Spanish start-up Novameat has developed what it claims to be the biggest cell-based meat prototype in the world. FoodNavigator catches up with founder and CEO Giuseppe Scionti to talk R&D, investment, and collaborating with Michelin-starred Disfrutar.
While the coronavirus pandemic brought many food players to a halt, Barcelona-headquartered Novameat appears to be as busy as ever.
The plant-based meat developer, which uses patented microextrusion technology to achieve a meaty texture from plant proteins, has kickstarted a collaboration with Michelin-starred restaurant Disfrutar, secured a €250,000 investment from the Spanish Government, and claims to have made the biggest cell-based meat prototype on the planet.
