Cabosse Naturals has introduced a groundbreaking addition to its ingredient range – cacaofruit powder. Positioned as the first of its kind on the market, this innovative product offers a unique taste and texture for confectionery and ice cream. The brand boasts of its pulp, juice, and concentrate, which are already part of their existing range. What sets the cacaofruit powder apart is its ability to reduce refined sugar in these sweet treats.
By incorporating Cabosse Naturals’ upcycled cacaofruit ingredients into their applications, artisans and brands can now apply for an Upcycled Certified mark on their packaging. This groundbreaking mark certifies the use of upcycled food in products, making it easier for consumers to prioritize making an impact-informed purchase while simultaneously promoting sustainability by preventing food waste.
Cacaofruit, previously discarded in significant quantities (up to 70%), is now finding purpose and value. This fruit comprises a nutritious and delicious pulp that envelops its prized seeds or beans, which are traditionally used in chocolate production. By extracting the upcycled cacaofruit powder from the pulpy goodness that would ordinarily go to waste, a new and delightful ingredient is created.
Incorporated as a new carrier along with cocoa, this sweet and fruity pulp lends the cacaofruit powder a pleasant taste and natural sweetness. This characteristic fruity flavor makes it an excellent substitute for refined sugar in fat-based fillings for confectionery and ice cream. Not only does it deliver a lovely taste, but it also contributes to the sustainability efforts of Cabosse Naturals.
According to William Angleys, the sales director at Cabosse Naturals, this new powder successfully captures the refreshing fruitiness of cacaofruit pulp, making it perfect for innovative creations. With its fruity taste and natural sweetness, it is a game-changer that can effectively replace refined sugar, all while aligning with the brand’s commitment to upcycling.
In conclusion, Cabosse Naturals’ introduction of cacaofruit powder offers a new and exciting opportunity for confectionery and ice cream makers. By utilizing this innovative ingredient, these artisans and brands can not only enhance the taste and texture of their products but also contribute to sustainability efforts by reducing the reliance on refined sugar. Combining the fruity goodness of cacaofruit pulp with cocoa as a new carrier, Cabosse Naturals has truly created something special that sets it apart from the competition.
