Making
At the heart of our innovations lies Bioptimate technology, which carefully preserves the natural strength of fava beans, enabling each precious component—protein, starch, and fiber—to contribute to the food of the future.
Food
Driven by a commitment to health and sustainability, we bring wholesome plant-based options from fava beans to tables. A powerful source of nutrients, ensuring delicious and affordable meals for today’s and future generations.
Better
“Better” can only truly be better if it benefits the entire planet, which is why we use fava beans with a minimal environmental footprint, producing 90 percent fewer emissions than animal proteins, and blend the power of regenerative agriculture with sustainable production for the world we aspire to create.
Together
Only through collaboration can we drive real change, which is why we’re building a better world alongside our dedicated farmers, skilled team, and partners.
Making Food Better Together is not just our wish and goal – it is our purpose and promise for a healthier and better world.
Welcome to the first fava bean isolate production plant in Europe!
The factory, specialized in producing high-quality plant ingredients for the food industry, uses a revolutionary, patented technology developed in collaboration with the University of Copenhagen and Bioptimate. This ensures the preservation of the plant’s natural structure with minimal use of chemicals, water, and energy. These advanced processes enable an annual capacity of 45,000 tons, including 15,000 tons of protein, 14,000 tons of starch, and 3,600 tons of fiber.
Products from our factory set new standards in healthy and sustainable nutrition, as the proteins, starch, and fibers derived from fava beans are used in a wide range of plant-based products, from pasta and sauces to sports nutrition and functional foods.
Fava Bean – the smart plant-based protein of the future
Fava bean, grown on the ecologically clean fields of Croatia, represents the plant of the future with immense potential on an individual, economic, and global level. As a source of high-quality plant-based proteins, it contributes to healthy nutrition and a more sustainable agricultural ecosystem.
For farmers, fava beans offer many benefits: they do not require the use of mineral fertilizer N46, improve soil quality by fixing nitrogen, are well-suited for crop rotation, and reduce the need for pesticides. By 2035, significant growth in demand for plant-based products is expected, and this “smart seed” is becoming a key factor in sustainable development and the fight against climate change.
