USA: Good Culture secures majority investment from L Catterton

Good Culture, the Austin, Texas-based clean-label cultured dairy brand, has entered into a definitive agreement for a majority investment from L Catterton, the global consumer-focused investment firm, positioning the company for accelerated growth across the USA.

According to press statements, Good Culture’s sales have nearly quadrupled over the past three years while the broader cottage cheese category expanded by about 60% in the same period.

Founded in 2015, Good Culture produces cottage cheese, sour cream and cream cheese using milk from family farms without artificial ingredients, stabilisers or additives. The new investment is intended to expand production capacity, broaden distribution and support innovation initiatives as retail demand grows.

Andrew Taub, managing partner of L Catterton’s Flagship Fund, added that the brand has “built an extraordinary niche in cultured dairy, transforming a once-dormant corner” of the market.

Existing investor Manna Tree, which led Good Culture’s earlier funding round in 2022, plans to reinvest alongside L Catterton. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approval, with closing anticipated in the first quarter of 2026.
