Real Vegan Cheese (RVC) is pioneering the production of authentic cheese through cellular agriculture, a method that involves genetically modifying yeast and other microflora to express cheese proteins. This innovative approach allows RVC to create real cheese by incorporating plant-based fats and sugars, mirroring traditional cheesemaking processes that typically utilize animal milk. The organization emphasizes its commitment to Open Science, ensuring that the findings from their research are accessible to the global community, which is crucial for fostering a sustainable, animal-free dairy industry.

In addition to its core mission, RVC actively engages in various projects aimed at advancing the field of cellular agriculture, including casein protein expression. The organization is supported by a collaborative network of biohackers and citizen scientists who operate from two open community labs located in the San Francisco Bay Area. RVC also focuses on international outreach, participating in global events to promote community-based research efforts, thereby enhancing the collective knowledge and resources available for developing sustainable alternatives to traditional dairy products.
