In recent years, there has been a notable shift in the ice cream industry, as a new player makes its grand entrance: cacaofruit. Traditionally, the seeds (better known as the beans) have been the star ingredient in cocoa and chocolate production. Now the often-overlooked parts of the cacaofruit, such as the pulp, are taking center stage in the form of cacaofruit ice cream.

Cacaofruit ice cream offers a delightful fusion of flavors, blending the fruity and zesty notes of the cacaofruit with the creamy richness of traditional ice cream. The result is an irresistible treat that captures the essence of tropical indulgence.

As consumers become increasingly conscious of the environmental and social impact of their food choices, cacaofruit ice cream emerges as a deliciously ethical option.

FamilyMart Co., committed to its core values of "food safety and security, and being kind to the earth," proudly introduces “Marugoto Cacao” ice cream. Available at approximately 8,800 FamilyMart stores across select areas in Kanto and Kansai (Japan), this delightful cacaofruit treat encapsulates deliciousness and environmental responsibility.

Embracing the whole cacaofruit, Marugoto Cacao embodies the innovative spirit of utilizing every part of the cacaofruit, not just the seeds typically reserved for chocolate production.

From waste reduction to wholesome delight

What sets cacaofruit ice cream apart is not only its unique taste profile but also its sustainability credentials.

Moreover, this innovative approach provides economic opportunities for cacaofruit farmers and contributes to the sustainability of the chocolate industry as a whole.

As consumers become increasingly conscious of the environmental and social impact of their food choices, cacaofruit ice cream emerges as a deliciously ethical option. It represents a harmonious blend of flavor innovation and sustainable practices, inviting ice cream enthusiasts to embark on a delightful journey through the world of cacaofruit-infused indulgence.
