ChoViva

ChoViva is more sustainable than conventional chocolate while offering the delicious and familiar taste experience that everyone knows and loves from chocolate.

Instead of relying on cocoa beans, we use sunflower seeds in the innovative production process for ChoViva. In doing so, we adapt traditional cocoa processing methods - fermentation and roasting - to the new ingredient. This creates the full-bodied chocolate flavour. Combined with sugar and vegetable fat, ChoViva gets the melt-in-the- mouth texture and delicious taste of chocolate. Thanks to short supply chains and the avoidance of deforestation, up to 80 % less carbon dioxide is produced in the production process than with chocolate.

As an alternative to cocoa, ChoViva is sold to the confectionery industry and used in various applications from coatings to bake-stable chuns. This is because the cocoa supply chain faces numerous challenges such as rising demand, climate change, limited land and social issues that affect production costs and make supply scarcer. ChoViva by Planet A Foods helps to relieve this strained cocoa supply chain and establishes a sustainable alternative alongside cocoa.
