Unilever-owned The Vegetarian Butcher unveils a new vegan bacon made with its patented technology that mimics pork on every level.
Vegan bacon is already an improvement on animal-based pork in many ways but European company The Vegetarian Butcher thinks it can be even better. The Unilever-owned company just announced the launch of its NoBacon 2, an improved vegan bacon made from a carefully selected ingredient list that includes soy and wheat protein and perfected with The Vegetarian Butcher’s new fat technology.
The new fat technology solves the main issues that pork alternatives face to truly deliver the eating experience of bacon without the ethical and environmental costs. The new patented technology encapsulates oil and releases it at 20-times the rate of previous iterations, allowing for a fatty, crispy texture and a similar sizzle when cooking.
The new fat technology also allows for a tender texture and, because it becomes translucent when cooked, a similar visual and eating experience.
Improving vegan bacon to better mimic its pork counterpart has myriad benefits, according to The Vegetarian Butcher CEO Hugo Verkuil. “Releasing all animals from the food chain is not just good news for animals, it’s also great news for our planet,” Verkull said in a statement.
