Fat, Flavour and Fermentation: Anna El Tahchy’s Mission to Reinvent What We Eat
Fat, Flavour and Fermentation: Anna El Tahchy’s Mission to Reinvent What We EatUpdate: 2025-06-19
Description
Dr Anna El Tahchy is on a mission to change what we eat—without changing the joy of eating. As co-founder of deep-tech startup Nourish Ingredients, Anna is using precision fermentation to replicate the animal fats that make food taste amazing—minus the animal. In this episode of The Mucky Middle, Anna unpacks how Nourish grew from a research project at CSIRO to a global flavour innovator partnering with Fonterra, expanding across Asia, the US, and beyond. She talks scaling science into startups, why purpose fuels her commercial drive, and the real mucky middle of navigating regulatory red tape and market timing. We also dig into the big stuff: gender equity in food tech, parenting on the entrepreneurial frontline, and whether the future of flavour might taste like something we’ve never known before.
