      Planning security instead of cocoa risk

      The cocoa market is more volatile than ever: weather extremes, political instability, and rising demand drive prices up and make reliable cost planning difficult. NEOCAO offers a stable alternative – plant-based, price-secure, and sensorially convincing. This gives manufacturers long-term calculation and supply security – with full cocoa indulgence.

      0% cocoa, 100% taste

      Despite containing 0% cocoa, NEOCAO delivers a 100% authentic taste profile: full-bodied, bitter, nutty, and with the typical astringent note – just like classic cocoa powder. The plant-based formulation is finely balanced and proven in diverse applications – from beverages and confectionery to creams and baked goods. Developers benefit from a versatile clean-label alternative that convinces with authentic taste and wide usability.

      Natural origin & plant-based formulation

      NEOCAO consists exclusively of plant-based ingredients, without artificial flavors, additives, or processing aids. The balanced combination of herbal extracts, plant oils, and fiber-rich raw materials creates an authentic cocoa profile that meets modern clean-label standards. Vegan, allergen-free, and declaration-friendly – for transparent formulations without compromises in safety or consumer trust.

      Sustainability & resource efficiency

      Unlike conventional cocoa cultivation, NEOCAO causes no deforestation, requires significantly less water, and is independent of yield-fluctuating monocultures. With its plant-based origin and stable raw material supply, the system supports a more resource-efficient and climate-friendly value chain. Manufacturers benefit from reliable supply and sustainable positioning – with full taste and consistent processing performance.
