Descripción
Esencia Foods is Europe's first company building fish and seafood alternatives based on mushroom mycelium, using solid-state fermentation.

Our mission is to foster the world's transition to a sustainable seafood system
- without asking consumers to compromise on taste, texture, or price.


Our planet cannot sustain our current food system; therefore, we believe in producing exceptional alternative seafood products to remove the current strain on our environment and ensure food security for our future ever-growing population.


We are looking for a Fermentation Scientist Intern to support our R&D team in the development of our whole-cut seafood alternative based on mycelium fermentation.

This is your opportunity to have an impact on our planet and experience a startup in its earliest days.
