Time Travelling Milkman focuses on extracting and commercialising functional ingredients from sunflower seeds, most notably OleoCream, a plant-based fat-globule emulsion that provides a rich, creamy mouthfeel. The company has also created OleoPowder and SunPulp, valorising the remaining seed fractions to maximise circularity. Its newly announced project targets scaling OleoCream production to 10,000 tonnes per year while utilising all side streams. A consortium with co-product specialist Duynie and process-optimisation expert NIZO Food Research will help develop clean-label, climate-friendly applications and fine-tune manufacturing processes. The initiative is additionally supported by EFRO Oost, an EU-co-funded subsidy programme. An undisclosed investment has been secured to finance these scale-up efforts, but no revenue or user figures have been revealed. The company’s strategy centres on delivering sustainable, dairy-like functionality for the growing plant-based foods market.
