Traditional techniques, future-proof engineered

Barry Callebaut redesigned the making of chocolate - known as the Cocoa Cultivation & Craft principle (CCC) - to recognize the special qualities of each cocoa bean and reveal their nuances of flavor.

To indulge in the purity of cocoa flavors

By applying the CCC-principle, Barry Callebaut redefined chocolate completely: putting cocoa first, sugar last.

To experience the nuances of cocoa flavors, the recipe of the 2nd generation of chocolate is as pure as it can be:

  • Dark chocolate is made of cocoa and sugar only
  • Milk chocolate is made of cocoa, milk and sugar only

The new product design is a testimony to nature's flavors, and to the mindful-living consumer, since this chocolate contains 50% less sugar than the most consumed chocolate across the world.
