Q: HOW DOES THE FLAVOUR CHANGE THROUGH THE VARIETIES OF CACAOFRUIT AND REGIONS?

Q: WHAT IS THE CREATIVE JOURNEY?

A : A unique creative journey. Exceptional chefs are leading the WholeFruit revolution. 

A chocolate revolution doesn’t happen overnight – it’s a development and ongoing movement initiated by Cacao Barry and the input of chefs from around the world. +30 chocolatiers and pastry chefs came from each regions of the planet to gather in San Francisco in September 2019 when the concept of the WholeFruit chocolate made from 100% pure cacaofruit was first launched. It was the start of a 2 year creative journey with brainstorming sessions, testing and exploration which led to our collective vision of what is chocolate as nature intended.  It is through this commitment, involvement and expertise that we can reveal today WholeFruit’s first expression EVOCAO.
