Vienna, Austria, June 1, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)-Austrian 3D and food technology startup Revo Foods offers surrealistic plant-based salmon fillet for the first time at a public tasting event at the rooftop bar ZOKU Vienna. Announced. May 30, 2022. Fillets made from 100% plant-based ingredients were prepared by Michelin’s star chef and evaluated by 10 tasters. The startup has already applied for two patents on new technologies for producing generation 2.0 plant-based fish products. The first salmon fillets from Revo Foods will be available in stores from early 2023.

This new innovation by Food-Tech Startup is the first of its kind and can be seen as a plant-based alternative game changer. This is the so-called “hole cut”. Fillets are similar in structure and texture to traditional salmon fillets and can be cooked (fried, cooked, steamed, etc.) just like traditional salmon.
While first-generation plant-based alternatives often lack structure (hamburgers, chicken nuggets), Generation 2.0 products redefine both the dining experience and the global vegan food market. These new products offer the next level of taste and texture through new innovations.
“”It’s all about structure and perfect bite creation.“
-Robin Simsa, CEO of Revo Foods
Flexitarian – Growing Market
More and more people are classifying themselves as flexitarians to get a more sustainable diet. Flexitarians make up about 20% of Europe’s population, and the demand for plant-based alternatives is growing rapidly.
There is also an image problem in industrial fishing. Overfishing, the destruction of marine ecosystems, and the loss of marine biodiversity are just a few. Many consumers are deeply concerned about the dramatic increase in heavy metals, microplastics and antibiotics found in traditional seafood products. Flexitarians are looking for sustainable alternatives that are not only good for the ocean and their health, but also provide a longing dining experience with taste and “bite”.
Fillet
“The structure is almost” too perfect “, is this vegan? “, Quoted by one of the guests.
The base of the fillet is a variety of plant protein sources such as pea protein. Other ingredients include algae extracts and vegetable oils. Fillets, like wild salmon, are high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Plant-based fish sticks or fish burgers have been on the market for some time, but finding an alternative to fish fillets is the next level. The fillet was served with asparagus and hollandaise sauce and cooked by chef Siegfried Kröpfl, who had cooked at Queen Elizabeth II (Harbor Castle, Toronto).
Startup
Revo Foods is working with 3D Printing Technology to develop alternative seafood products.
Besides Revo Smoked Salmon, the startup is known for its annual block parties and collaborations with street artists for packaging design. Their first product (smoked salmon alternative) is already available in 16 European countries, including Austrian and German supermarkets.
