About

Love Foods is an umami-driven food company with a scientific soul.  We create fermented, living, enzyme-rich foods powered by Koji—unlocking flavors, textures, and nutritional depth that conventional food systems have forgotten.

Love Foods is years in the making.  From small ideas and humble beginnings starting at a French brewery in the Rockies, to farms in southern Maine, now Salem Oregon.  We have a passion and love for innovative business that is synergistic with our dynamic lives.   Our love for fungus birthed a small microbiology lab that fed our passion for a greater understanding of food and ourselves. 

We are explorers of the microbial world, driven by a deep passion for creating better food—not just tastier food, but food that does more.  Food that nourishes the body, sharpens the mind, and elevates the everyday act of eating into something meaningful.

Our work sits at the intersection of gastronomy, microbiology, and creativity.  We pay homage to the pioneers of fermentation and culinary innovation while pushing their ideas forward—creating novel foods the world has never seen.  This is food at its pinnacle: expressive, intentional, and alive.

At Love Foods, we believe the future isn’t about choosing the “least bad” option.  It’s about food that actively supports and optimizes the body’s systems—food that works with you.  Through fermentation and enzymatic intelligence, we’re building a new dimension of nourishment.  We are also concerned citizens of the food system--our process is rooted in zero-waste principles and a low-impact footprint, because innovation without responsibility isn’t progress.

Education is part of our mission.  We aim to expand palates, deepen understanding, and reconnect people with how food truly works—inside the body and beyond the plate.

We’ll unlock the food.  You unlock the rest.
