Meat and dairy alternatives are everywhere these days, but until now no one has cracked the code on maybe the most important of all food groups: cheese.
Thankfully a plant-based cheese may soon be available courtesy of the Riddet Institute's food innovation team.
Lead researcher Dr Debashree Roy recently won the Falling Walls Lab Aotearoa New Zealand competition for their innovative, patented technology for making protein-enriched plant-based cheeses.
This means she'll go on to present at the Falling Walls Lab and Science Summit in Berlin in November. Dr Roy speaks to Jesse.
