Air made butter with no dairy or farming!

A company has announced Savor, the leader in the field of foods that produce pure, versatile and sustainable fats directly from carbon without the need for traditional agriculture, announced the commercial launch of its first product: butter that is completely free of animal and vegetable products. This product is the first of a new platform that is making a radical change, and has sparked the interest of chefs and food manufacturers across the United States. Among the company's first customers this year are selected restaurants such as SingleThread Michelin-starred, andONE65, in addition to famous bakeries such as Jane the Bakery.

This achievement marks the third anniversary of the company's establishment, after years of intensive research and development, culinary innovation, production expansion, organizational evaluations, and in conjunction with the company's inclusion in the list The Most Innovative Companies of 2025 According to the magazine Fast Company. Savor celebrated these successes by organizing special dinners in both San Francisco and New York, where guests were among the first to taste Savor's alternative butter.

She said Kathleen Alexander, the founding partner and CEO of Savor, who was honored last week on the list 500 leading institutions for 2025 for a magazine Inc.:

“Savor was founded to find the most sustainable way to feed humanity. Real sustainable solutions should not only reduce our environmental footprint, they should also be affordable, easy to use, and delicious. As the only technology that can replace palm oil and other widely used fats with low-carbon alternatives over the next decade, we are uniquely positioned to make a significant impact on sustainability efforts in the food industry. Our method of producing fats and oils allows for a wide range of customization and expansion, allowing us to create rich and delicious ingredients while quickly reaching a cost similar to traditional fats.”

Over the past year, Savor has been quietly working with select restaurants and bakeries in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, seeking to use its butter in their recipes. One of the first testers was celebrity chefs such as Kyle Connaughton (the owner and chef of SingleThread), and pastry chefs Juan Contreras whomever Atelier Crenn, andClément Guévonne whomever ONE65. The company's new website includes a short film showing how Contreras uses Savor butter to reimagine the classic brioche recipe, with more content on the way.

Savor's technology has also attracted global food companies, as their R&D teams are working on ingredient creation projects based on Savor's unique ability to produce customizable fats and oils. The company is actively negotiating joint development agreements with a number of these companies, who were particularly impressed with the flexibility and composition of fatty acids that the Savor platform can produce — capabilities that go far beyond just animal-like fat formulations.

She said Chiara Cecchini, Vice President of the Trade Marketing Department at Savor:

“The growth of our partner network reflects a deep awareness in the entire sector: the food sector is in dire need of solutions to mitigate supply chain disruptions, which affect revenues and profit margin. At the same time, we need to reduce emissions from raw materials, maintain the quality of ingredients, and be affordable. It's a complex challenge, and we strive to help our partners overcome it.”

Among the most prominent achievements that paved the way for the commercial launch are:

• Producing the world's first molecularly synthesized fat from carbon dioxide (CO₂) captured at the source, green hydrogen (GH₂), and methane (CH₂)
• Obtaining a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) rating from the FDA, making it possible to legally sell the product in the US market
• Expansion of R&D capabilities at Savor headquarters in San Jose
• The first 25,000 square foot pilot production facility opens in Batavia, Illinois, with an initial capacity to produce tons of fat this year

He said Carmichael Roberts whomever Breakthrough Energy Ventures:

“Savor is redefining food production with a scalable solution that offers great taste and supports stable local supply chains. The global demand for fats and oils continues to rise, and innovations such as Savor fats represent a revolutionary opportunity for the sector and the planet.”

He added Costa Janoulis, the co-founder and general manager of Synthesis Capital:

“After a decade of experience investing in food technology, it is clear that fat is a crucial element in providing a similar taste and texture to animal products in vegan alternatives. The Savor approach offers scalability and flexibility in a way that is unmatched by any current technology, making it a key player in the future of the food system.”
