Deliciously crafted, sustainable food for everyone - starting with 100% cocoa-free chocolate
Info
Imagine a world without chocolate. Horrifying, right? But the supply of cocoa is endangered and chocolate is as bad as meat for our planet. We make future-proof chocolate using precision fermentation. Doing this, our chocolate is 10x more sustainable and 20% cheaper than conventional chocolate. In order to mimic the organoleptic properties of chocolate (tender, smoothly melting taste release) we are working on the flavor itself but also on replacing the cocoa butter. 55 Mio lbs of chocolate are consumed every day. By 2035 we will substitute a big chunk of it through our sustainable chocolate.

With lots of ChoViva packed, our business trips are often the sweetest 🍫💚 …and we’ve been on quite a few recently as we drive our expansion abroad 🌍 Last week, our very own Felix Lang 🌱 and Dr. Maximilian Marquart toured the UK, meeting potential customers and retailers across the island, introducing them to our sustainable chocolate alternative, ChoViva. Curious about what we usually take with us? A suitcase (this time 20kg!) filled with a variety of ChoViva samples in all sorts of applications—from tablets and bars to cereal clusters, peanut butter cups, hollows, and more. And what insights did we gain from the UK market? All innovative retailers and manufacturers are seeking sustainable yet tasty ingredients to future-proof their product offerings. With retailers driving sustainable food solutions, they enable consumers to choose products that are better for the planet without compromising on taste. Of course, we had the chance to taste many new amazing UK samples featuring ChoViva…so we’d say there are exciting things in the pipeline! Stay tuned 🤤 #UK #Expansion #Samples #ChoViva #PlanetAFoods

"It's a great time to invest in an alternative to cocoa" - Dr. Nadine Geiser, World Fund The cocoa-free chocolate market continues to expand, driven by the growing demand for chocolate products (projected to surpass $250 billion in 2024) and the increasing threats to cocoa supply from climate change. At Planet A Foods, that's exactly why we developed our delicious cocoa-free chocolate alternative ChoViva. It's great to see that World Fund, one of our first investors, foresaw the potential of Planet A Foods and the evolving market landscape already two years ago. 🚀 Thank you Dr. Nadine Geiser for the great interview at your World Fund Conference and World Fund's ongoing support. 💚🍫 #Investment #CocoaFree #WorldFund #PlanetAFoods #MarketGrowth #Sustainability
