The Process Behind the Magic

Our dairy products are made with animal-free milk protein from our ingredient partners at Perfect Day. The milk protein gives our ice cream the same taste and texture of traditional dairy with no lactose and a fraction of the environmental impact (plus no animals used means no animals harmed!).
Instead of milking cows, Perfect Day uses a process called precision fermentation to create milk proteins from microflora (like yeast) and plants. The precision fermentation process looks a lot like the fermentation process used to make kombucha or beer, and the output is pure milk protein β no lactose, no hormones, no antibiotics. Itβs dairy, made better.
So the million dollar question β How is it possible to make milk protein without animals? The answer: precision fermentation.

Microflora
Perfect Day selects microflora, like yeast, and encodes them with the DNA sequence for whey protein. (They get the sequence from an open source database online β just like downloading an ebook!)

Fermentation
The microflora are placed in a fermentation tank (just like brewing beer) along with water and plant sugars to ferment.

Milk Protein
As they ferment, the microflora produce milk proteins identical to milk protein from a cow. Perfect Day filters the milk protein out from the microflora, and the result is pure milk protein, made with zero animals.

Why animal-free?
So you can enjoy all the creamy deliciousness of dairy with no lactose, no animals harmed, and a fraction of the environmental impact.
