Esencia Foods makes a true and natural alternative to meat from mycelium solid state fermentation. As a venture-backed business, we are pioneering this approach.
Our mission 🐠 is to foster the world’s transition to a sustainable food system- without asking consumers to compromise on taste, texture, or price.

We are looking for a New Product Developer / Food Scientist to lead the food development of our new protein bases and meat alternatives based on mycelium fermentation.
This is your opportunity to have an impact on our planet and experience a startup in its earliest days.
