About Us

The world needs smart food solutions that are friendly to the palate and the planet, but right now, plant-based and alternative protein products just don’t stack up to the real thing.

And that’s where Nourish comes in.

Our animal-free fats and oils make alternative proteins taste delicious. With our science, we can tailor flavour profiles that precisely reproduce the taste and mouthfeel of beef, chicken, fish, milk, cheese and beyond. Products made with our fats are more than an alternative, they’re a straight up improvement. Backed by Horizons Ventures and Main Sequence Ventures, Nourish Ingredients are a key player in the future of a smarter, more sustainable, and more diverse food system.

We're always interested in hearing from world-class talent, even when we don’t have your perfect role listed on our careers page.

Do you want to make an impact? As an essential member of our young and dynamic start-up based in Canberra, you’ll work side by side with our bright and talented team as we set out to make plant-based meat and dairy alternative taste like (or better than!) the real thing.
