This Innovate UK SMART Grant is a fantastic opportunity for Myconeos, allowing us to apply our ground breaking asexual fungal breeding technology to achieve sexual breeding of P. camemberti strains and associated IP surrounding our second generation of novel Penicillium strains for the cheese market.

The project will investigate the opportunity of developing new fungal strains for the European market initially targeting the Italian mould ripened cheese market.

Myconeos was a finalist at the World Dairy Innovation Award for best new technology innovation with its new Mycoforti® Cheese Cultures at Laval, France in June 2022. These have just been launched in the UK and ROI and will be available in Europe soon.
