Food Alchemist
In the Food Alchemist Lab, science and cuisine coexist in symbiosis by creating a new ecosystem.
Nutraceutical properties from raw materials are enhanced with techniques such as fermentation, suggesting a circular economy model where the word “waste” is reinvented.
R & D Laboratory
The Food Alchemist Lab is the R&D laboratory based in the Scuderia Living Lab in Bologna. From research and educational programs to development and tasting, the Food Alchemist Lab focuses on developing solutions that improve human and planetary health.
Educational initiatives and corporate workshops facilitate going from know-how transfer to specific scientific and biochemical process sharing. Our heterogeneous product portfolio is influenced by nutritionists, food engineers, and gastronomic scientists forming the foundation of our R&D consultancy. We also offer futuristic dining experiences where we showcase the innovative product portfolio in a casual setting to engage people in conscious eating.
