But tonight would be different since the cheese on my pizza was made in a lab, not by cows."At new culture we figured out a way to keep that dairy cheese experience, that magical property of mozzarella like the stretch and the mouthfeel, but without requiring any animals," explained New Culture CEO and co-founder Matt Gibson.Their cheese is made by a process called precision fermentation.
