Get to know the Upcycled Certified Cacaofruit

Cacaofruit is a treasure that has long flown under the radar. In traditional cocoa production, only about 30% of the fruit—the seeds or better known as the beans—are utilized, destined for the chocolate we know and love. The rest of the fruit, including its flavorful pulp, nutrient-rich juice, and robust shell, is often discarded. 

However, we’re changing the game by harnessing the full potential of this remarkable fruit through a pioneering upcycling process. The result? A diverse array of innovative products like cacaofruit juice, concentrate, and pulp, ready to elevate a variety of treats—from indulgent confections and creamy ice creams to refreshing beverages. What’s more, the flavor profile of cacaofruit is a revelation in itself: a vibrant, zesty burst of fruity goodness with a touch of exotic flair.

Upcycling: turning waste into cacaofruit wonders

Upcycling is more than a trend—it’s a revolutionary process that turns waste into wonders. With over a third of the world’s food going uneaten, reducing food waste isn’t just important—it’s the most impactful way to combat climate change, slashing greenhouse gas emissions and paving the way for a healthier planet. 

By unlocking the full potential of cacaofruit, Cabosse Naturals, and Barry Callebaut are setting a new standard in sustainability. They’re not only creating delicious, eco-friendly products but also dramatically cutting waste and shrinking cocoa’s environmental footprint. 

And the ripple effect? Local cacao farming communities thrive, with new income opportunities bringing stability and brighter futures.
