Launch of the first Japanese quail cell culture meat

Vow is an Australian company that works in the research, development and production of cell cultured meatwhich aims to change how the world eats through a range of new more sustainable and respectful foods with the planet. To date we have met different companies that work in cellular agriculture, to produce beef. bovineof chickenof wagyumeats exotic (lion, zebra, tiger, etc.), etc. Although for now the market is practically testimonial, a large offer is being prepared that will be able to satisfy the most varied tastes and demands.

In this sense, today Vow is news for the launch of the first cell-cultured meat from Japanese quailis presented under the Forged Parfait brand and will be tasted at a series of dinners held at the Mori Restaurant in Mandala Club of Singapore from April 12 to 27. The meat will be presented in three different dishes, a stuffed cannoli accompanied by caviar, a milk roll accompanied by Hokkaido Wagyu A5 beef and in a Forged Brûlée based on layers of Port jelly, flambéed berries with cognac and caramelized sugar.

The Australian company made headlines at the time for its early work producing cultured meat from extinct animals. In fact, last year it introduced a mammoth meatball that supposedly recreated the flavor and texture of the mammoth meatobtained from the modification of a meat cell line derived from sheep. Vow inserted the woolly mammoth myoglobin gene into sheep meat cells, supposedly recreating the smell, taste and aroma of mammoth meat.

The fact is that the Forged Parfait has been approved for sale in Singaporea country that in 2020 became the first country in the world in approving the marketing of Eat Just’s cell-cultured meat. You can almost say that Singapore has become a place for the launch of new foods, because in addition to meats, other foods such as Solein protein chocolate snackprotein will be made with water, carbon dioxide and electricity.

Company officials explain that Forged Parfait is already cooked cell culture meat, with a delicate texture and an intense umami flavor, ideal for combining with different ingredients and presenting in different dishes. The reason is to try to offer diners the best first experience when trying cell culture meat. The product can be taken hot or cold, and is defined as a light, spongy and very versatile meat. It must be said that after the series of dinners offered at the MORE Restaurant at the Mandala Club, a launch is planned in different haute cuisine restaurants in Singapore. At the same time, the company has requested approval from regulatory authorities in the United States and other countries around the world to introduce the new meat.

The company team explains the process, obtained the samples of Japanese quail cells and selected those that contribute to the flavor and texture, subsequently the growing conditions and a specific combination of nutrients based on amino acids, sugar and salt was prepared to grow them in a bioreactor. The next step was to separate the meat and combine it with other ingredients creating Forged Parfait. It must be said that initially the idea was to launch a combination of cultured crocodile meat and quail meat, but it was rejected on the grounds that it could be somewhat intimidating for consumers, perhaps seeking differentiation borders on extravagance and absurdity.

The truth is that the company, according to one of its managers, is focusing on a premium and luxury end of the market, taking advantage of a limited production capacity and high prices, to transform what is a disadvantage into a benefit. We might think that he is stumbling around looking for his place in this new and growing market nicheHowever, as we read herehas capital and facilities large enough to become a major competitor of other companies in the segment.
