Beyond Chocolate: Exploring the Potential of Cacaofruit

Beyond Chocolate: Exploring the Potential of Cacaofruit

When we think of "cacao," chocolate is the first thing that comes to mind, bringing with it a sense of pleasure and indulgence. Although we love chocolate, the cacaofruit has so much more to offer than just this delicacy. Cabosse Naturals is committed to harnessing the full potential of the cacaofruit, turning it into an array of exceptional ingredients that transcend the boundaries of traditional chocolate products.

Cacaofruit ingredients: from waste to wonder

For years, the cacaofruit was harvested solely for its beans, destined to become chocolate. Don't get us wrong: we love chocolate! But the cacaofruit is so much more than that. Imagine only taking the seeds from an apple and throwing the rest away—unthinkable, right?

At Cabosse Naturals, we've made it our mission to transform the entire cacaofruit into delicious ingredients: cacaofruit juice, concentrate, pulp, and powder. Moreover, our cacaofruit products are Upcycled Certified, meaning they are made from materials that would otherwise be discarded, thus reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

By choosing products with Upcycled Certified cacaofruit ingredients, you are supporting a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to food and beverage production.

A delicious solution to make an impact

Did you know that reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways to help the climate? Traditionally, 70% of the cacaofruit was discarded, as only the beans were used for making chocolate. Today, we’re harnessing the full potential of this wonderfruit, transforming it into delightful ingredients with a fruity, zesty flavor that resonates especially well with the younger generation.

Not only do these ingredients taste fantastic, but they also support a more sustainable approach to food production, making them a win for both sustainability and deliciousness.
