Remilk × Gad Dairies launched 'The New Milk' in Israel — the first cow-free milk on Israeli shelves and in cafés. Precision-fermented dairy is no longer a pitch deck.
BusinessWire · AgFunderNews · Nov 2025
Made in Kfar Chabadכפר חב״ד
Ancient tradition meets the science of precision.
Kefir Chabad is animal-free dairy crafted in the heart of Israel — using Remilk's precision fermentation to brew real milk proteins. Zero cows. 100% kosher. Ahiw hiw.
Two worlds, one table.
Kefir Chabad is a partnership between the rooted, generations-deep agricultural soul of Kfar Chabad and Remilk's animal-free dairy technology. The dairy you grew up on, produced for the world we're growing into.
The roots of Kfar Chabad
Founded in 1949, Kfar Chabad has always been a place of work, spirit, and connection to the land. Kefir Chabad honors that legacy — bringing the highest standards of craft and kashrut to every batch.
Remilk precision
Using precision fermentation, we brew dairy proteins that are molecularly identical to traditional milk — without a single cow. Sustainable, lactose-free, and certified kosher pareve.
On the shelf
The finished bottle, head to toe.
Every Kefir Chabad bottle wears its credentials proudly — kosher dairy certifications, live and active probiotics, and the Remilk technology inside. Tradition on the front, science on the back, blessing in every cup.

"We're not replacing dairy — we're keeping its soul intact, and freeing it from the cow. Kfar Chabad gives this brand its heart. Remilk gives it its future."
Proof of concept
The category is real. The window is now.
Kefir Chabad isn't betting on a hypothetical market. Precision-fermented dairy is on shelves in Israel today, regulators have cleared the protein, and a U.S. entry is around the corner.
U.S. launch on the runway.
Remilk has publicly confirmed a U.S. market entry targeted for 2026 — opening a regulated, GRAS-cleared lane Kefir Chabad can ride into American grocery.

Kosher pareve, on the strictest standard.
Animal-free dairy proteins are halachically pareve — the only way to serve a 'real dairy' experience that fits a meat meal. No competitor in either market owns this position yet.
