Essence Food
Essence Food is a Spanish foodtech company that upcycles food waste and surplus produce into nutrient-rich, ready-to-consume products using proprietary freeze-drying (lyophilization) technology, combined with AI and 3D food printing via its subsidiary Moodbytes. Founded in 2017 and headquartered near Barcelona, it operates a B2B model (own equipment, leasing, or freeze-drying-as-a-service) and has expanded to Dubai and Riyadh. It appears self-funded/accelerator-backed (Business Factory Food, Galician Food Cluster) rather than venture-backed.
