Mirroring nature with pioneering bioscience for natural flavors
Welcome to Evodia, a game-changing sustainable aroma house, specializing in aroma technology and sustainable flavor ingredients. It is our mission to recreate nature’s aromatic molecules using precision fermentation to produce monoterpenes — the natural compounds that bring authentic aroma and taste to a wide range of products.
Evodia creates ingredients for exceptional taste and aroma—without compromising precious natural resources
Purpose
As frontrunners in bioscience innovation, we are reinventing the production of natural flavors by mirroring nature and the processes inside plants. This approach allows everyone to enjoy remarkable flavors without depleting nature’s resources. These ingredients, known as monoterpenes, are microscopic molecules that captivate the senses through the nose, mouth, and throat. Though invisible to the eye, they play a vital role in the delightful flavors and aromas of everything we eat and drink.
Story
The wonder of scents
Founded in Denmark in 2021, Evodia is built on unique scientific discoveries made by our team at the University of Copenhagen. Through groundbreaking technology, we have unlocked previously inaccessible molecules for bio-industrial production, enabling us to create natural aromas sustainably.
Our proprietary yeast strains convert simple sugars at high yields into desired aromatic compounds—monoterpenes—making it possible, for the first time, to produce these volatile molecules on an industrial scale.
Our name, “Evodia,” meaning “pleasant scent” in Greek, is inspired by the heritage of one founder’s grandmother, who used herbs for food and medicinal purposes. We have built our own production facility, labs, and offices near Copenhagen to support our vision of a sustainable future where everyone can enjoy natural flavors and aromas without depleting natural resources.

Five reasons why
Why partner with us?
Here are five good reasons to add the 5th ingredient of beer production—alongside yeast, hops, malt and water—to your next alcohol-free beer using our premium aroma blends.
01. Consistent great taste
Yops® enhances desired flavors, improves mouthfeel, and effectively masks off-flavors in non-alcoholic beer, while contributing to an extended aromatic shelf life. Independence from agricultural variation ensures that Yops® provides a consistent beer aroma profile every time.
02. New, sustainable technology
Yops® is a unique, patented precision fermentation technology. A product of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast metabolism rather than plants, Yops® is future-proof and has an 83% lower environmental impact (CO2 eq. emissions) compared to traditional hops.
03. Customizable flavor profile
Yops® high-precision aroma customization expands the range of aroma notes available to the brewer, giving an unprecedented level of control over a beer’s flavor profile.
04. Maximized yield and efficiency
Yops® helps maximize a brewery’s efficiency throughout the value chain. Zero vegetal matter means no beer loss, no hop burns and no hop creep – optimizing yield and eliminating the risk of costly unforeseen quality issues, production delays and reprocessing.
05. Easy to use
Either as a quick tweak of your existing recipe or as the base for a whole new one, Yops® is ideal for inspired recipe development as well as final product adjustment. No pre-treatment is necessary, just dose inline during transfer or recirculation—or spike a glass of base beer, one drop at a time. Our concentrated formulation allows 1L of Yops® to elevate up to 50hL of beer, enabling significant logistics and storage savings.
