Kyl21 is an ice cream with popsicles in futuristic looking geometric shapes, new textures and gourmet recipes.
The science-food-company Molekyleis Produktionsgesellschaft mbH (Kyl) was founded in 2014 by product designer and marketing specialist David Marx in Berlin.[1][2] David Marx produces flash-frozen ice using his own technology based on liquid nitrogen, which allows popsicles in geometric shapes, new textures and highend (gourmet) recipes. The molekylice is produced at around −200 °C (−328.0 °F).[3][4]
The molekylice came out of the Science Kitchen - an independent food lab based in Berlin and Singapore that specializes in molecular gastronomy by inventing and developing food products for a sustainable, vegan-friendly future.[5] The Molekylice is produced in Berlin, Los Angeles (here under the brand name DreamPops) and China (under the brand name BOOM).
The Kyl21 name is a mash-up of the Norwegian word for molecule "molekyl", and the age (21+) of Marx's intended popsicle audience (Kyl is pronounced "kühl", IPA: [kyːl], the German word for "cool"). Through crowdinvesting at Companisto, Kyl21 was able to collect € 940.650 (ca. US $ 1.2 Million) venture capital.
