Viva la Faba – The future of cheese is made from beans

Over the past three years, we have developed a revolutionary plant-based cheese. It is not only delicious and melts, but is also particularly good for our planet. We have tested hundreds of proteins and ingredients in thousands of trials. We've had enough of cheese substitutes full of modified starches, aromas and additives. We are pioneers in using organic faba beans to create plant-based cheese. The faba bean, known since the Stone Age, has unfortunately been somewhat forgotten in recent times. We've rediscovered its potential! Faba beans benefit soil health, capturing CO2 and nitrogen, and enhancing ecological diversity!

This is what makes our plant-based cheese so special:

• Super tasty: over 6,000 people have tried our plant-based cheese in tastings so far and the feedback has been amazing!
• No artificial additives and aromas: no complicated ingredient lists, just honest, good and high-quality organic ingredients.
• More protein: With 8% protein content, we are real pioneers in the field of plant-based organic cheese.
• Allergen-free: Our products are free from allergens such as nuts, soy and gluten!
• Organic: All varieties are certified organic. In this way, we support regenerative, organic agriculture.
• Less saturated fatty acids: Our shredded cheese, which doesn't have coconut oil, has up to 90% less saturated fats than cheese made from cow's milk.
• 100% plant-based: All our products are purely plant-based and will also carry the V-label in future.
• Up to 75% less CO2: Our preliminary study shows that Viva la Faba emits up to 75% less CO2. A carbon footprint as small as a faba bean!

Viva la Faba is for everyone who has been waiting a long time for a plant-based cheese that tastes good, melts and makes you happy! For everyone who cares about animal welfare and our planet. For everyone who pays attention to a healthy diet and likes to try new things. We offer you the opportunity to try the plant-based cheese of the future. Viva la Faba is not just any cheese alternative, it's the future!

We have created a delicious plant-based cheese that both cheese lovers and vegans love. At the same time, we care for the environment and our community. Our focus is on using high-quality organic ingredients. Through Viva la Faba, we believe we can make a positive impact in the world, together.

Our goals:

• Nothing less than challenging the status quo of the food industry!
• Reduce the environmental footprint of our food system and maximize our impact by prioritizing local and sustainable ingredients.
• To build a company, that is focused on more than just profit. We want to work together, share ideas, support each other and continuously learn and grow - while making great plant-based cheese.
• Helping farmers across Europe to transition from livestock to faba beans by building supply chains and creating new income opportunities.

Supporting Viva la Faba means that you are part of something special. It's not just about plant-based cheese; it's about a dream that thrived even in tough times. To build a sustainable business that makes a difference!

We got started three years ago in our University kitchen and faced huge challenges, struggling to continue operations without capital funding, and supply issues during the pandemic. But we didn't give up. So for us, Viva la Faba's cheese, made from organic faba beans, is more than food. Your support helps bring a dream to life, while also getting the chance to try the most delicious and kind plant-based cheese out there before it gets to the supermarkets!

If the financing is successful, we can produce Viva la Faba on a larger scale and then deliver it directly to your home. We are also planning to expand our range. Among other things, we are already working on a plant-based pasta topping!
