Indulgence for the next generation

Millennials and Centennials, but also older generations earnestly want to live a happy, healthy life, in symbiosis with the world around them. They want chocolate that is tasty, good for them and good for the planet. WholeFruit chocolate responds perfectly to this need: a delicious, fresh fruity taste, 40% less sugar than the most consumed dark chocolates, and made from 100% pure cacaofruit. A fruit of which 70% is normally discarded as waste. 

To achieve this, Cacao Barry partners with our brand Cabosse Naturals, who upcycles the delicious pulp and peel into a range of 100% pure cacaofruit ingredients. Cabosse Naturals collaborates closely with local cacaofruit farming communities in Ecuador, who are part of the Cocoa Horizons sustainability program, to source the highest quality fruits. Through this collaboration, the time between harvesting and processing the fresh cacaofruit into delicious ingredients has been  shortened to no more than 5 hours. Freshly harvested cacaofruit is essential to preserve the delicious fresh fruity taste and nutrients of the fruits that distinguish WholeFruit chocolate.

Cacao Barry’sWholeFruit Evocao™ is the first signature expression of WholeFruit chocolate, and other exciting flavor profiles will follow as of 2022. The WholeFruit Evocao™ chocolate is now available in limited quantities for professional artisans in France, the UK, Italy, Canada, the US, Brazil and Japan. From December 2021, its distribution will be progressively extended to other countries.

First chocolate worldwide with Upcycled certified label

WholeFruit Evocao intends to be the first chocolate worldwide that qualifies for the Upcycled Certified mark, which will be implemented this year in the United States by the Upcycled Food Association. This helps consumers to make conscious choices and have a positive impact on the environment they appreciate so much.

Our global brand Cacao Barry, founded in 1842 and deeply rooted in its French pastry heritage, is a favorite among creative chefs in more than 90 countries and renowned for its wide offering  of fine flavor chocolates. Its cacaofruits and beans are carefully selected from plantations in Latin America, Africa and Asia and are 100% sustainably sourced.
