Projekt Criollo
Secure your future with the raw materials of tomorrow!
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a sustainable alternative to conventional cocoa mass, cocoa powder, and cocoa butter production through biotechnology. The goal is to develop products that match the taste and sensory profile of cocoa beans, ensuring high consumer acceptance and cost efficiency.
This approach combines environmental sustainability, innovation, and efficiency—redefining the future of food production.
Why we need intelligent solutions for resource security?
Cocoa cultivation is becoming increasingly challenging – while demand continues to rise.
