Garden Gourmet meat alternatives

Garden Gourmet is a leading European brand specializing in plant-based meat substitutes, including burgers, nuggets, and vegan deli slices. Originally founded in Israel in 1986, the brand was a pioneer in the meat-free movement, focusing on high-quality soy and wheat protein products.

Today, the brand is owned by the Swiss multinational Nestlé, which acquired a majority stake in Tivall (the brand's original producer) before taking full ownership. Under Nestlé's stewardship, Garden Gourmet has expanded its manufacturing footprint across Europe, with primary production facilities located in the Czech Republic and Serbia to serve the growing demand for vegetarian and vegan options globally. The brand remains a cornerstone of the 'plant-forward' strategy for its parent company.
