Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate
Specialties
Cargill can provide a range of specialty products, using selected ingredients, including:
Certified sustainable chocolate
More and more, chocolate is expected to be both flavorful and sustainably produced. Our offering of UTZ Certified chocolate allows customers to join us in the journey towards sustainability, in excellent products that consumers can enjoy and feel good about.
Organic chocolate
Our organic chocolate is based on our highly regarded, tried and trusted gourmet chocolate but is produced with 99.5% organic ingredients. The majority of the organic ingredients are produced under the Cargill brand, including exclusive cocoa ingredients from the Dominican Republic:
- Cargill organic cocoa mass
- Cargill organic PPP cocoa butter
- Cargill sunflower lecithin, Topcithin™ SF
- Cargill organic natural vanilla extract
All our organic chocolate meets the requirements of NOP (North American standards) or BIO (European standards) and is certified by SKAL and ECOCERT (certifying bodies). It is available in liquid, solid and drops.
Chocolate with sunflower lecithin
Cargill’s access to sunflower sourcing in Europe provides you with the opportunity to use sunflower lecithin as an alternative to soy lecithin. While the performance is similar, sunflower lecithin offers a secure non-genetically modified lecithination alternative
Single origin chocolate
With our extensive sourcing operations, we have been able to select cocoa beans from specific origins for our exclusive single origin chocolate. Along with recipes and formulation, we can advise you on legislation and claims in your domestic and export countries. The following origins are available:
Origin² chocolate
Cargill's connectivity between chocolate and flavors allows us to go deeper in exploring taste experiences. In combining two characteristic flavors from the same country of origin, cocoa and vanilla, we achieve new harmonies of authentic taste: Origin² chocolates.
Belgian white chocolate
Our renowned Belgian white chocolate is widely recognized for its distinctively delicious taste. Some attribute it to the atmosphere of the former chapel in Antwerp where it is produced. Others credit its makers' deep chocolate know-how.
This product is available in a variety of applications from confectionery to dairy.
High cocoa content chocolate
According to Innova Market Insights, product launches in dark chocolate have doubled between 2008 and 2009, thanks to the perception of dark chocolate as healthy. To bring customers the finest dark flavors, Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate has a special production line for high cocoa content chocolate.
Award-winning organic flavor
Starting with the best beans from the Dominican Republic, we deliver the delight of a tasty, premium organic chocolate. With this organic chocolate, one of our customers won an award for excellent taste in the UK.
