Aleph Farms is thrilled to announce that Chef Eyal Shani has joined the company as a culinary launch partner and an investor. As part of this partnership, We will introduce Aleph Cuts through roaming, intimate, and exclusive dining experiences inspired by Eyal Shani.
Michelin-Star Chef Eyal Shani, considered a culinary genius and a “re-enchanter” of Israeli cuisine, is renowned for his poetic and uncompromising approach to fresh, pure, and local ingredients. As the head chef of 17 restaurants in Tel Aviv and around 50 globally, his influence extends far beyond the kitchen, making him a significant figure in popular culture. His restaurants in Israel, United States, Canada, Australia, Austria, France, Singapore and the UK, including Port Said, Romano, Miznon, and HaSalon, are not just dining spots but cultural landmarks, contributing to his iconic status worldwide.
“We are thrilled to welcome Eyal Shani to the Aleph Farms team. His deep commitment to creating high-quality, accessible and inclusive food that resonates with people from all walks of life aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Didier Toubia, CEO and Co-Founder of Aleph Farms. “Eyal’s dedication to using the finest ingredients and raw materials elevates our new category of animal products , ensuring that it is not only sustainable but also of exceptional quality. His innovative spirit and focus on connecting people through food make him an invaluable partner as we launch Aleph Cuts globally.”
“When Aleph Farms offered me to help spread its message around the world, it was the greatest honor of my life,” said Chef Eyal Shani. “I was born into a vegan family and until the age of five was fed only plants and roots. Almost 60 years have passed and today, I have over 50 restaurants across six continents, and I serve meat in all of them. I ask myself constantly: what am I bequeathing to the world?”
He continued, “Aleph Farms has given me the opportunity to bequeath a future that avoids causing suffering to billions of animals, in which people will be one with nature and not harm it, in which Aleph Cuts are more wonderful than the meat we know today and is so without killing a single animal, and in which our happiness does not require that the animals with which we share the world feel pain. It sounds like a dream that I don’t want to end, and indeed it is a dream, but it is one whose basis is reality, harnessing the spirit of science and human imagination. And it will change the world, making it a more moral, tastier and truly sustainable place.”
