Chunk
In this episode, I’m joined by Amos Golan, founder and CEO of Chunk, a company redefining what’s possible in plant-based meat through cutting-edge fermentation technology. Amos brings an impressive background spanning organic chemistry, human-computer interaction, agtech, biotech, and food innovation—including time leading Ferrero’s Open Innovation team. He’s also a trained chef with a personal passion that deeply influences his approach to product development.
Chunk uses proprietary fermentation techniques to create plant-based meats that deliver a deeply satisfying eating experience, mimicking the texture, color, and taste of traditional meat. Chunk is bringing chefs and foodservice operators a plant-based option with no preservatives, additives, or binders—and raising the bar for quality and innovation in the category.
