Creating dairy proteins through precision fermentation - Bon Vivant

Bon Vivant is a French company reshaping the future of dairy with cutting-edge biotechnology. Focused on creating animal-free dairy proteins, Bon Vivant combines tradition and innovation to deliver sustainable, high-quality alternatives that replicate the taste, texture, and nutritional value of conventional dairy without the environmental impact or ethical concerns.

CEO and cofounder Stéphane MacMillan speaks to Future of Foods' Alex Crisp about it's global movement toward sustainable food production. The company’s proprietary fermentation technology produces proteins such as casein and whey—essential components of dairy—using precision fermentation instead of animals.

This approach not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also addresses the growing global demand for eco-friendly food solutions.

“Bon Vivant is committed to preserving the planet while honoring the culinary excellence that France is renowned for,” says MacMillan. “Our goal is to redefine dairy without compromise, ensuring a delicious and sustainable future for all.”
