History

BioFood Cultures builds upon years of research and expertise developed at the Laboratory of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Democritus University of Thrace. Within this research environment, Greek-origin microbial strains were isolated and characterized, a unique microbial collection was established, and the first laboratory-scale and pilot-scale fermentation trials were successfully developed and evaluated.

Building on this scientific foundation, BioFood Cultures was created to translate academic research into industrial innovation. Our mission is to bring these microbial resources beyond the laboratory and into the food and beverage industry, delivering scalable starter cultures and microbial solutions that create value for producers and consumers alike.
