ENHANCING COCOA FLAVOUR IN CHOCOLATE COMPOUNDS

As consumer demand for premium yet affordable chocolate continues to grow, taste remains the most important factor in purchasing decisions, with over 60% of consumers globally ranking it as their top priority.2

However, balancing the rich cocoa flavour with cost efficiency and stability in chocolate compounds has remained a persistent challenge for industrial manufacturers.

FSL & AAK’s CEBES™ Choco 15 is designed to address this need, offering a unique solution with three times greater cocoa butter tolerance compared to a regular CBS, allowing you to max out on taste while maintaining a longer-lasting quality and cost-efficient processing.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Unmatched Cocoa Content – The only CBS compound on the market that allows up to 15% cocoa ingredients, delivering a deeper, more intense chocolate flavour compared to conventional compounds.
  • Superior Bloom Stability – Unlike traditional CBS options that struggle with fat bloom when cocoa content exceeds 5%, CEBES™ Choco 15 ensures long shelf life, a glossy finish, and
    texture stability at room temperature.
  • Cost-Effective & Easy Processing – Reduces formulation costs for applications like confectionery bars, tablets and bakery goods, with no tempering required and a fast-setting
    time for efficient production.
  • Trans-Fat-Free & Plant-Based – A health-conscious alternative to traditional CBS, free from trans fatty acids (TFAs) while maintaining the desired texture and snap of real chocolate.
