WholeFruit Chocolate Global Launch
June 7, 2021
Cacao Barry revolutionizes the artisan world with WHOLEFRUIT chocolate. A unique couverture chocolate made from 100% pure cacaofruit.
It takes a change of perspective on centuries of chocolate making to realize that 100% of what is in the cacaofruit is all that is needed to make a great chocolate. The simplest concepts are the most powerful ones, and the most difficult ones to achieve! First announced in September 2019, it took Cacao Barry’s expert teams almost 2 years to bring this concept to fruition, pursuing the goal to answer chefs’ high expectations of wholesome indulgence with no compromise on exceptional taste. Inspired by chefs and artisans worldwide, this endeavour was empowered further by the unique feedback received from an international group of more than 30 top chefs’ unprecedented joint creative journey.
100% sustainably sourced cocoa beans
October, 2020
100% of our cocoa beans are sustainably sourced.
Because chefs and farmers are at the heart of the fight to ensure sustainable cocoa farming that respects both the environment and individuals, we have decided that from now on more than 1 000 of our chocolate and cacao based products will support the Cocoa Horizons Foundation.
A collective commitment that makes a practical difference in improving the lives of farmers, eradicating child labour and bringing us closer each day to our goal of achieving a positive impact on deforestation and our carbon footprint by 2025.
Thriving Nature
January 25, 2019
