About us

Quota Vita was born to ensure that everyone eats the protein they need to be healthy, as well as to reuse the whey from the cheese industry.

Quota Vita is also a concept that seeks to return to the origins of Mediterranean culture. For this reason, a Latin name has been chosen.

QUOTA: from quotus, meaning "what part" or "assigned quantity".
VITA: meaning "life", "vitality", "way of life".

The union of the two terms leads us to the daily vital portion, which helps you to be in good physical condition, have enough amino acids to stay in shape, and lead a full life.

Currently, Whey Protein with a Catalan cream flavour and neutral-flavoured Whey Protein have been developed without added sugars. However, we are working to launch new natural flavours related to Mediterranean gastronomy and culture.

INNOVATION IN RAW MATERIALS:

Do you know what Whey Protein is? It's the liquid left after making cheese, called whey. And most importantly, did you know that for every litre of milk used to make cheese, approximately 80-90% is whey and is thrown away? The challenge of Quota Vita is to be the first whey reuse industry in Catalonia. For this reason, we are in constant contact with researchers from the University of Barcelona, Autonomous University of Barcelona, University of Santiago de Compostela, and IRTA to find a solution for the cheese industry through the reuse and revaluation of the byproduct.

I'm Gerard Rosell, founder of Quota Vita. I reached 120 kg living in Colombia and recovered by changing habits, and protein was a key part of that. That experience is the origin of all this.

Quota Vita is born from two simple ideas. The first: to help people eat more protein every day, in a real and sustainable way. The second: to give value to whey, a byproduct that Catalan cheese factories often discard.

That's why I make protein with local flavours: crema catalana, horchata. Food from home, not a foreign supplement.
