New Culture, based in San Francisco, California, operates in the food and beverage services sector with a focus on animal-free dairy. The company combines traditional cheesemaking with fermentation to produce cheese without animals, starting with a mozzarella that melts, stretches, bubbles, and browns similarly to conventional cheese. Its mozzarella is produced without lactose, hormones, antibiotics, or animal-derived ingredients, and the process is claimed to cut water, land, and energy use by five- to ten-fold. This places the firm in the animal-free dairy segment, where it aims to alter how cheese is produced and consumed.

Its target customers include pizza chefs and restaurant operators across the United States seeking alternatives to traditional dairy cheeses. A notable recent development is a strategic partnership with CJ CheilJedang in 2024 to scale up production of animal-free casein and mozzarella.
