Formo Bio GmbH
Precision-fermented dairy proteins and Koji-based cheese specialist (since 2018) with the largest European Series A in alt-dairy.
Formo Bio is a Berlin-based company developing recombinant milk proteins through precision fermentation technology. The company's primary ingredient product is Formo Casein, a bio-identical milk protein derived from fermentation rather than animal sources. The protein is designed to deliver functional dairy performance for next-generation products including cheese alternatives and dairy-free applications. The company positions its technology as enabling manufacturers to maintain traditional dairy functionality and sensory properties while removing animal agriculture from the production chain. Formo markets its offering to food manufacturers as a sustainable alternative protein ingredient for applications in plant-based and dairy-alternative formulations.
