Forged, Finally Made for Your Fridge With Cultivated Quail Spread

Forged, Finally Made for Your Fridge  visual media

From the molecular-kitchen of Vow comes a bold leap as their gourmet brand Forged is now making cultivated quail spread accessible to consumers.


After securing regulatory approval from Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) for cultured Japanese quail cells, the company is dropping a small-batch smoked quail spread you can order online—Sydney launch only.


This isn’t just “lab meat” dressed up as dinner, it’s a chef-driven, luxury-tier entry into the cultivated-meat category, positioned from the menus of Australia’s top restaurants into your fridge. The smoked spread drop highlights a shift - premium cultivated products bypassing mass-market fast adoption and instead targeting food-savvy early adopters.


For plant-based and foodtech watchers, this launch signals that the cultivated-meat narrative is richer than “cheap chicken substitute”, it’s “rare luxury meat crafted from the lab”. And for regular consumers? You’re suddenly seeing something you can click-and-buy that just weeks ago was locked behind high-end tasting menus.
