## About

Based in Paris, France, and founded in 2016 by Nour Akbaraly, Les Nouveaux Affineurs produces plant-based cheeses suitable for various consumer preferences. In February 2025, Jay&Joy, a portfolio company of High Flyers Capital, acquired Les Nouveaux Affineurs from Beyond Impact, Demeter IM, Newfund, and Tudigo. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Les Nouveaux Affineurs specializes in the production of a range of plant-based cheeses, catering primarily to the growing demand for vegan alternatives to traditional dairy products. Their core offerings include a variety of artisanal cheeses, such as the Affiné d'Albert and the Affiné de Margot, as well as several fresh cheese varieties like Nature, Ail & Fines Herbes, Échalote & Ciboulette, and Thym & Romarin. These products are designed for consumers seeking healthier, environmentally friendly options without compromising on taste and texture. Les Nouveaux Affineurs generates revenue primarily through direct-to-consumer sales in an e-commerce format, as well as through partnerships with retailers. Their pricing typically ranges from EUR 50 for The Essentials and EUR 9.90 for L'Affiné d'Albert.
