Eclipse Foods makes plant-based dairy products that are indistinguishable in flavor, texture, and functionality from conventional dairy.
Eclipse’s patent-pending dairy platform recreates micelles (the magic of dairy milk) from plants to create 100% plant-based and non-GMO dairy products that win over mainstream consumers.
Our products are made without soy, nuts, coconut, gluten, GMO’s, gums or stabilizers, making them free from all common allergens and much cleaner than other products.
We are the team behind JUST Mayo, have chef’d/staged at 16 Michelin stars, and have investment from Y Combinator, the chairman of Beyond Meat, the founder of Reddit, the creator of Gmail, and a former Dreyer’s exec.
We were recently on the featured in FastCompany(and on CNN, in SF Chronicle, Forbes, etc.) and our ice cream is already available in the top ice cream shops in the country.
Our mission is to create a more sustainable, healthy, and humane food system by making amazing plant-based foods that require no sacrifice.
