Company Description

Savor was founded to decarbonize the food system by producing animal-equivalent fats from carbon-based feedstocks like CH4 or CO2 . We spun out of an incubator in 2022 and have raised $33M in venture capital from Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Synthesis Captial.

We have a 15-person team in the San Francisco Bay Area. Savor’s de-risked technology platform can produce high-quality fats at commodity price and scale. We are going to market with a vegan butter and milk fat that match the sensory performance of animal fats—addressing a major market need in the alt-dairy space.

We’ve delivered kg-scale samples to 30+ prospective customers ranging from global conglomerates to leading players in plant-based meat and dairy to Michelin-star chefs. These early customers have tested our fats for taste and manufacturability in a wide range of applications including cheese, butter, milk, ice cream, cookies, pastries, spreads, and alternative meats. We’re currently tailoring our finished formulations in collaboration with several of these partners while pursuing FDA and EFSA approval and scaling production from our 6 kg/month laboratory process to 5 tons/year at our recently-acquired production facility in Illinois.

“I couldn’t believe that wasn’t butter”

The world’s food system is unsustainable. It accounts for more than 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions, has consumed 50% of the habitable land on the planet, and won’t scale to feed 10B people on a climate-changed planet. Nearly half of this impact can be traced to fat production. Savor is singularly positioned to drawdown these emissions and restore natural ecosystems: unlike any competing approach, Savor’s thermochemical process can achieve world-scale this decade.
