Umiami

Umiami, now Swap Food, develops and manufactures plant-based whole-cut alternatives mimicking traditional meat and fish. Utilizing its proprietary "Umisation" texturizing technology, the company crafts fillets that replicate the taste, texture, color, and juiciness of animal proteins, without controversial additives. Their flagship product, a plant-based chicken breast alternative, provides a direct substitute for consumers.

Founded in 2020 by Tristan Maurel, Clémence Pedraza, and Martin Habfast, the company arose from an insight into the market's demand for convincing plant-based whole cuts. The co-founders engineered the "Umisation" platform to overcome textural and palatability challenges, producing alternative proteins that match the sensory experience of animal products.

Swap Food targets consumers seeking satisfying and accessible alternatives to animal products. By offering high-quality plant-based options, the company aims to facilitate wider adoption of sustainable dietary practices. Its vision centers on contributing to climate protection, animal welfare, and public health through delicious, embraced plant-based food choices.
