Pioneering Chocolatier wins gold at ISM with Cabosse Naturals Ingredient
Cabosse, the delicious cacaofruit praline
The ISM Cologne is the world’s leading trade fair for confectionery and snacks and is a source of innovation and inspiration for artisans all over the world. During the fair, hundreds of snacks and confectionery products have been evaluated by the jury, and the Cabosse praline from Chocolatier Vandenbulcke was awarded the Most Innovative Product Award thanks to its unique taste and upcycled nature.
The innovative praline called “Cabosse” has a unique filling of upcycled cacaofruit pulp, the delicious white flesh that surrounds the cacaofruit seeds. The praline is made from dark chocolate and has the shape of a cacaofruit. The cacaofruit filling developed together with Cabosse Naturals has a refreshing fruity zesty taste.
The highly sustainable "Cabosse" praline is now available for the general public in Belgian supermarkets Colruyt and Delhaize, after it won the Most Innovative Product Award and was nominated at SIAL in Paris.

A praline with respect for nature and farmers
We all know chocolate is made from the seeds of the cacaofruit (or better known as beans), but many aren’t aware that the cacaofruit is actually a fruit, just like an apple or an orange. Previously, 70% of the cacaofruit was thrown away because only the seeds were used to craft our beloved chocolate.
Now not only its seeds but also the peel and the fresh and juicy pulp are used to create delicious and upcycled ingredients. Cabosse Naturals has developed a unique, scalable supply chain to offer consumers, chefs, and artisans around the world a range of nutritious, 100% pure cacaofruit ingredients!
Knowing that preventing food waste is the single greatest solution to prevent global warming, upcycling the cacaofruit is the perfect way to give consumers the opportunity to enjoy a new taste while minimizing their impact on the environment.
By using the full cacaofruit, not only food waste is prevented: the cacaofruit farmers receive more income. This additional income helps to improve the lives of the 450+ families we currently work with. Altogether, that’s more than 1600 people that we are reaching and positively impacting. A great reward and recognition for all their efforts to cultivate beautiful and healthy cacaofruits.
