Complete Recipe Homologation for Consistent Brand Experience

We help you replicate the exact flavour, texture, and performance of an existing chocolate recipe, ensuring consistency across batches, sites, and production environments.

Through sensory mapping, ingredient analysis, and controlled pilot testing, we maintain the integrity of your brand experience while securing supply continuity.

Tailored Chocolate Flavour Profile Enhancement and Sensory Differentiation

Whether you want to intensify cocoa character, highlight origin notes, reduce sweetness, or introduce new aromatic layers, we work with you to define the flavour expression your consumers seek.

The result is a profile that feels familiar to your brand, yet distinctively yours.

Chocolate Format Adaptation for New Product Applications

From bars and coatings to inclusions, snacks, and drinking chocolate we guide you in adapting your recipe for new product formats.

We ensure the chocolate performs effectively in its intended application, preserving sensory quality while meeting processing, moulding, and shelf-life requirements.

Cross-Category Innovation & R&D Support for New Chocolate Product Lines

If you’re moving into categories you don’t traditionally produce, we provide the expertise and technical validation needed to transition confidently.

This includes formulation support, processing recommendations, and concept feasibility to ensure your innovation aligns with consumer expectations and manufacturing capability.

Rheology & Flow Behaviour Customisation to Fit Your Production Needs

We tailor viscosity and flow behaviour to suit your production needs, without compromising flavour.

Whether you need a more fluid chocolate for enrobing or a thicker texture for inclusions, we adjust particle size, fat composition, and emulsification to achieve the exact performance your line requires.

Flexible Chocolate Co-Manufacturing & Capacity Expansion Support

SCALE WITHOUT STOPPING

When your lines are at full capacity, innovation shouldn’t stop. Our co-manufacturing support provides the technical capability, and process consistency you need to scale, without disrupting your existing operations.

We operate as an extension of your manufacturing team, ensuring your chocolate maintains the same quality, performance, and sensory profile your consumers already trust.

Market-relevant Chocolate Product Development & Concept Design

We combine market insights, consumer behaviour data, and flavour trends with technical R&D to develop chocolate concepts that are both relevant and feasible to produce. Our team translates emerging category movements into product ideas that fit your brand positioning.
