About Formo

Formo was founded in 2019 to create a new generation of dairy products. Instead of animals, we use fermentation to produce real milk proteins which we incorporate into traditional European cheese products. We envision a happier, healthier future by irresistible change in the food system: where animal-free is hedonistic, cheese is deliciously high-tech, and anybody anywhere can enjoy fromage that’s perfect for them. Formo is a venture-backed, fast-growing company. We employ a global team of highly skilled entrepreneurs and scientists who bring real innovation to life. Our common thread? A passion for challenging the status quo and transforming the food industry.
