Sustainable mission

Mycelium: Back to the roots of fungi

Mycelium isn’t your typical kitchen staple. It’s the hidden root system of fungi, akin to the life force beneath the soil, responsible for nutrient absorption and organic matter breakdown. While we often enjoy mushrooms, mycelium is the powerhouse behind their growth.

Mycoproteins, proteins derived from mycelium

Emerged in the ‘60s, mycoproteins were developed to meet the demand for protein-rich foods while addressing environmental concerns related to traditional food production. These fungi efficiently convert raw materials into nutritious protein, reducing the strain on land and water resources. For this reason, mycoproteins serve as the essential ingredient for developing sustainable, adaptable, and flavorful plant-based food.

A taste of Naplasol

Expertise, professionalism and product perfection – these are the three unique ingredients Naplasol provides to shape your 100% natural mycoprotein-based food plans.

Our mycoprotein production,  a commitment to sustainability

At Naplasol, sustainability is at the heart of our mycoprotein production process. Committed to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, we stand apart from traditional protein production methods that consume vast natural resources and prioritize preserving natural plant proteins. 

Future proof factors of our production

Low carbon emission

Compared to traditional meat production, mycoprotein manufacturing significantly reduces carbon emissions, often registering only a fraction per kilogram of protein produced.

Efficient land usage

Mycoprotein production demands 20 to 60% less land compared to traditional plant protein sources.

Efficient water usage

Mycoprotein cultivation consumes less water than other plant protein production, thanks to the water-efficient closed-loop fermentation process.

Protein producer

Our natural fermentation process is a high-value protein producer that always guarantees the highest quality.

Quality guarantee

Our production process undergoes meticulous monitoring and control, backed by the ISO 22000 certificate, ensuring impeccable, allergen-free, and top-quality products.
