Alver is a new food company producing everyday foods that are based on Golden ChlorellaTM. This nutrient-dense micro-algae is a truly sustainable source of protein, something which the planet needs if we are to be able to feed the ever-increasing world population.
We have launched with our 100% natural EASY PROTEIN powder and three different Golden Chlorella packed biscuits. We are developing soups and sauces.
Our objective is to make tasty foods that are healthy and can be produced sustainably.
Mine Uran, a world-renowned authority on proteins, started Alver in September 2016 having identified an opportunity in the market for products that are genuinely healthy – rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and lipids – and that provide a plant-based sustainable source of protein. Alver is the world’s first company to produce everyday foods with the nutrient dense Golden ChlorellaTM.
The business started trading in October 2016 in a successful trial period to assess market potential. Products were sold through independent shops in and around Geneva. Feedback has been very positive with a loyal client base. Consumer research carried out online in November 2016 confirmed the opportunity.
