THE MEDITERRANEAN FOOD LAB (MFL) est né de l’intuition de chefs et entrepreneurs visionnaires : maîtriser la fermentation en milieu solide - un procédé ancestral -, pour l’adapter aux grands enjeux actuels : santé, dérèglement climatique et transition alimentaire vers une alimentation plus saine et plus durable. En maîtrisant la fermentation en milieu solide de matières végétales, l’entreprise développe des produits B2B capables de rehausser naturellement le goût en cuisine, de façon saine, durable, reproductible. Et surtout pour le plus grand nombre, que ce soient les restaurateurs, les grands acteurs de la restauration collective ou les marques de produits prêts à consommer (CPG Food).
