About us
The Protein Brewery is a science-backed ingredients company based in Breda, the Netherlands, committed to reshaping the future of nutrition through sustainable, nutrient-dense, animal-free ingredients. Founded in 2020, the company harnesses advanced biomass fermentation to produce FERMOTEIN®, its flagship ingredient.
FERMOTEIN® is a whole-food ingredient developed for active nutrition, longevity, and supplements. Conventional protein sources, whether animal-based or plant-based, rarely deliver complete nutrition in a single ingredient. FERMOTEIN® is a nutrient-dense, low-footprint alternative made from mycelium, the root structure of fungi. It delivers complete protein (PDCAAS 1.0, all essential amino acids), prebiotic fibre, micronutrients, and unique fungal bioactives. Its neutral taste and smell make it highly versatile across ready-to-mix powders, drinks, bars and supplement formats.
What truly sets FERMOTEIN® apart is its unique composition. It contains more than 1,600 mg/kg of spermidine, a compound linked to cellular health and longevity, roughly 7 times the level found in wheat germ. This opens up possibilities for products targeting healthy ageing, sports and active nutrition, gut health and metabolic health.
In 2026, FERMOTEIN® became the first whole-food mycelium ingredient authorised for sale in the EU under the Novel Food Regulation, with five years of data exclusivity. It is also cleared for sale in the U.S. and Singapore.
From an innovation perspective, FERMOTEIN® is the result of intensive strain selection and production optimisation. This enables a scalable, low-cost production process with minimal processing. It is not just a protein, it is a platform for better nutrition, supported by a growing body of preclinical and human research.
On the sustainability front, fungal protein yields substantially more per hectare than animal or plant sources, and FERMOTEIN® is produced through a non-sterile, low-water fermentation process with water recycled inside the system. It is a natural, minimally processed ingredient that aligns with the future of nutrition: effective, clean and climate-conscious.
To support its mission, The Protein Brewery operates a state-of-the-art production facility in Breda, certified FSSC 22000 and Kosher.
