About Evolva

Evolva solves the supply chain issues of nature through a 21st century
mix of biotechnology and fermentation. We develop, make and sell
ingredients that provide significant health, wellness and nutrition
benefits to people in their daily life, but whose supply chain issues
have limited their use until now. Our flagship ingredients are stevia,
nootkatone and resveratrol. To make our world sustainable requires
nature and technology to work together as one, and our aim is to play a
(small) part in achieving this transformation. For more information see www.evolva.com.
