Heura Foods is a plant-based startup founded in 2017 by food activists Marc Coloma and Bernat Añaños. The company specializes in producing sustainable and nutritious plant-based meat alternatives, particularly soy-based products that aim to shift perceptions of plant-based eating. Heura emphasizes clean labels and a short ingredient list while enriching its offerings with vitamins and nutrients. Drawing inspiration from Mediterranean culinary traditions, Heura's products are designed to provide the taste and experience of meat while promoting a healthier and more sustainable food system, ultimately seeking to eliminate the need for animal-based products.

What started as someone’s dream to eat cake without cruelty evolved into a vision for change. Our mission is to give you plant-based alternatives to everyday foods, that taste as delicious as you’ve always known them, whilst doing our best to positively change the future of the planet, animals and people with every, little, bite. They’re all about making choices that add to our values and not our wallets. They measure our business in things that matter, like chickens saved, homeless meals given, and jobs created. These are the things that will reflect our success.
