A cocoa-free chocolate alternative made from sunflower seeds.

Overview
Chocolate depends on cocoa — a crop exposed to record price volatility and, increasingly, EUDR-driven due-diligence requirements on the supply chain (a compliance area we'd flag for your legal team to confirm against your own sourcing, not a conclusion we make for you). ChoViva is a cocoa-free chocolate alternative made from sunflower seeds, built to give manufacturers an independent supply chain for the taste chocolate provides.
How it works: ChoViva is engineered to match chocolate's taste, snap and melt — a drop-in for existing lines, with no retooling needed. It tastes, looks and feels like chocolate, built for the food industry with the same processing characteristics.
Why ChoViva
An independent, non-cocoa supply chain — insulated from cocoa price volatility and the EUDR compliance burden building around cocoa specifically (flagged here as a factor to weigh, not a legal determination).
A drop-in ingredient engineered to match chocolate's taste, snap and melt — no line retooling, so it moves at the speed of your product roadmap, not your capex cycle.
Made from sunflower seeds rather than tropical cocoa — a materially lower Scope 3 footprint (~80% lower CO₂ vs. cocoa, Planet A Foods) without a health or nutrition claim attached.
