The platform
We rebuild the world's most-loved flavours from humble, abundant plant ingredients — grape seeds, plant fibre — matched to the taste and colour of the originals, so they drop straight into your recipe and lift your margin. Take a solution as it is, or co-create one for your exact need. One platform: chocolate, cocoa, coffee, hazelnut and vanilla.
Why it works
What actually decides a formulation is cost, taste, colour and supply. Every solution is engineered to move all four in your favour — a productivity gain you can put a number on.
Every solution is built to move your P&L — cut cost, protect margin and take commodity volatility off the table, without touching the taste your customers expect.
Engineered to match the flavour and the exact shade of what they replace — a drop-in, not a reformulation project, so nothing on your line has to change.
Decoupled from volatile cocoa, coffee and vanilla markets — stable, forecastable pricing at industrial scale, a lever on your cost base rather than a hostage to the harvest.
Start with a ready-made solution, or co-create one with us for your exact application, format and cost target. Engineered to spec — not traded by the tonne.
Built from real, food-grade plant ingredients — abundant side-streams like grape seeds and plant fibre. Clean labels, familiar taste.
A supply that doesn't hinge on threatened harvests, at a fraction of the land, water and carbon — one benefit among several, not the whole pitch.
The base ingredient
A humble, abundant side-stream — the pressed seeds left over from winemaking — becomes the base for premium taste. Cheap where it starts, cutting-edge where it lands: a real productivity gain on your bottom line, engineered to spec rather than traded by the tonne.
Solutions
Each family is built for a category the market relies on — and each drops into the applications you already run.
ChocolateThe taste of chocolate, re-sourced — built on humble grape seeds, matched to cocoa's roasted depth. Our ChoViva chocolate alternative, plus ready-to-run coatings & compounds for bars, moulding, enrobing and inclusions.
CocoaA grape-seed-based cocoa-powder replacer for every relevant category — cut the cocoa in your recipe while holding the indulgent taste and matching your exact shade, natural through black.
CoffeeOne coffee product for partial-to-100% replacement in B2B applications — roasted from grape seeds into the taste and ritual of coffee, freed from a climate-exposed, increasingly scarce bean.
HazelnutReplace or extend hazelnut for spreads, fillings and pralines that hold their taste and their margin — insulated from a concentrated, weather-exposed supply base.
VanillaVanillin drawn from abundant plant fibre — lignocellulosic side-streams — for a rounded, dependable profile that smooths out vanilla's price swings, batch after batch.
