Those Vegan Cowboys produce casein with enhanced functionality compared to its animal counterpart, requiring less to achieve the same great taste and texture. The possibilities with our casein are endless, allowing us to tailor proteins. Our casein enables cheese to become five times more sustainable in terms of CO2 emissions, methane output, and water usage. It serves as the foundation not only for cheese but also for chocolate, pharmaceuticals, and bakery products.

Meet Margaret. The world’s first milk giving stainless steel cow.

Dairy gave functional protein a start. Margaret’s Finest gives it a future.

At IFT Chicago, we present our brand new casein discovery engine: a technology platform built to systematically unlock the full natural diversity of casein proteins, one species, one function and one breakthrough at a time.

For the first time ever, the doors are open to a level of functionality, consistency and sustainability that conventional dairy never even had the tools to look for.

Dairy R&D is now no longer limited by what the cow produces. Welcome to what comes next.

Efficient

We design proteins with the exact functionality you need, from perfect stretch and melt to creamy texture and stable foams. Beyond the cow, beyond cheese.

Sustainable

Our process produces far lower greenhouse gas emissions, uses much less land and water, and needs smaller quantities to achieve the same results – saving costs and resources.

Consistent

Produced in a controlled environment for stable quality, year-round supply, and without the antibiotics found in conventional dairy farming.

We’re not doing this alone

At Those Vegan Cowboys, we love cows – and we love great food. That’s why we’re building a better way. Using Margaret, the Stainless Steel Cow, we produce pure casein and other milk proteins without a single animal involved.

And we’re not doing this alone. We work hand in hand with leading cheese makers, food companies, farmers, and top chefs. Together, we’re shaping the future of food. Delicious, sustainable, and free from the environmental and geopolitical risks of animal farming.

A win for the planet, the animals, and food lovers everywhere.
