The Product: Cow-Identical Milk Protein
Remilk produces beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) using engineered yeast in fermentation tanks. Molecularly identical to cow-milk whey protein. Not plant-based. Not oat milk. The cow is removed. The molecule stays. It froths, bakes, and behaves like dairy because it contains the same protein.
