What is Recoa?

Recoa is a precision-fermented cocoa powder substitute crafted from sustainable, bean-free inputs — delivering the rich colour, flavour depth, and functional performance of cocoa without the supply chain volatility or allergen concerns of traditional cocoa.

Why Recoa?

Two compelling reasons to make the switch

💰

Cost-Competitive at 1:1 Replacement

Recoa is designed as a true 1:1 drop-in replacement for conventional cocoa powder — same dosage, same process, no reformulation required. This means your cost savings start from day one.

With cocoa prices at historic highs driven by supply chain disruptions, EUDR compliance pressure, and climate volatility, Recoa offers a stable, competitively priced alternative that doesn’t compromise on flavour, colour, or functionality.

✅ Direct 1:1 substitution — no recipe changes needed
✅ Predictable pricing, independent of cocoa markets
✅ No conching or additional processing steps required

🎛️

Fat & pH Customization

Recoa is available across a range of alkalization levels and pH values — from natural (pH 5.4–5.8) to very highly alkalized (pH 7.5–8.5) — giving formulators precise control over colour depth, flavour intensity, and functional behaviour.

With a consistent 10–12% fat content across all variants, Recoa integrates seamlessly into compound coatings, bakery premixes, beverage powders, and frozen dessert recipes without modifying your existing fat balances.

🎨 Light natural to intense black — 4 variants
⚗️ pH 5.4 to 8.5 — matched to your application
🧈 10–12% fat — consistent across all grades
