Imagine a world without chocolate. Horrifying, right? But the supply of cocoa is endangered, and chocolate is as bad as meat for our planet. We make future-proof chocolate using precision fermentation. Doing this, our chocolate is 10x more sustainable and 20% cheaper than conventional chocolate. In order to mimic the organoleptic properties of chocolate (tender, smoothly melting taste release), we are working on the flavor itself but also on replacing the cocoa butter. 55 million lbs of chocolate are consumed every day. By 2035, we will substitute a big chunk of it through our sustainable chocolate.
