Tasting Our Mosa Burger

We’re excited to share that we’ve organised the first formal tasting of our Mosa Burger in The Netherlands. It’s the first time a cultivated beef product was tasted in the EU after a ‘code of practice’ was created in 2023, that makes tastings of cultivated foods under controlled conditions possible before receiving an EU-wide approval for sales. Participants included Dutch cattle farmers, food product developers and industry representatives who shared their candid tasting feedback with us. The goals for these tastings include assessing market readiness of products and collecting feedback from culinary experts for product development purposes.

One participant of the private tasting said: “The burger really tasted like meat. [...] Usually I don't eat meat, but I miss the taste of meat a lot and this is the way to ultimately add it back to my diet, I hope.” Another taster shared: “I thought the burger was delicious. It was juicy, nice and succulent.”

While tasting opportunities of cultivated products are still quite selective, chefs, professional tasters and food product development professionals are welcome to sign up for participation at mosameat.com/taste.
