When nature meets technology
The oleosomes
The fat-droplet structure that makes dairy so creamy and indulgent exists in plants too, known as oleosomes. Our technology extracts these oleosomes in a form ready for plant-based food manufacturers to use.
This enables you to bring dairy-like creaminess to plant-based applications

Three ways to apply Oleocreamᵀᵀᴹ to your product
We work closely with you to define specifications, dosage and process parameters, so everything is agreed and validated before scale-up begins.
Single ingredient, maximum oleosome content. For formulations where you want maximum creaminess and lowest saturated fat contribution.
Oleocreamᵀᵀᴹ combined with another fat at a ratio defined by your application. For products where the fat profile, processing conditions or existing recipe set the parameters.
A targeted addition to your existing fat system. The oleosome structure boosts creaminess and strengthens the emulsion without rebuilding your recipe from scratch.
De-risking & consistency
Consistency is non-negotiable in industrial supply. Oleocreamᵀᵀᴹ is built on European sunflower seed, sown in March, harvested in September, available from multiple origins. That means stable supply and a stable price, while coconut and palm travel from far and swing with every harvest. We de-risk your supply chain and your cost base.
Developed in Wageningen:
A Dutch invention
Oleocreamᵀᵀᴹ was developed in the Netherlands at Wageningen University & Research, the world's leading food-and-agriculture institute, where its oleosome science was proven. That origin matters. Wageningen has shaped how the world thinks about plant-based food, sustainable ingredients and food systems science. Oleocreamᵀᵀᴹ is a direct product of that thinking, built on decades of academic research and translated into an ingredient ready for industrial use.
