Kokomodo

You voted, we listened! ?? When we asked how you love your cacao, the answer was loud and clear: chocolate bars. So we took our Kokomodo premium cacao, crafted using cell-cultured technology, and turned it into rich, indulgent chocolate - just as delicious, but made with the planet and people in mind. It’s the same taste and same experience, just a better way forward. ??? Which bar speaks to you?

Kokomodo made it to CNN! ???? At ISM Cologne & ProSweets Cologne, we shared how cell-cultured cacao is shaping a more sustainable future - providing a scalable, climate-resilient solution to the growing demand for cacao. ?? The reality is that rising temperatures and climate change are threatening global cacao production, with experts warning of a potential supply collapse by 2050. The industry needs innovation now. Tal Govrin, our CEO & Co-Founder, spoke about why rethinking cacao isn’t just necessary - it’s *urgent*. From food to supplements, cell-cultured cacao opens the door to new possibilities beyond conventional chocolate. Watch the clip and join us in shaping the future of cacao.

?? BREAKING: Scientists Confirm Chocolate is Your Soulmate Forget astrology. Forget love languages. Chocolate has always been "The One." ??Scientific proof? It releases serotonin, makes your heart race, and gets better with age. ??Loyal? It’s been there for every breakup, bad day, and celebration. ??A perfect match? Sweet, complex, and never lets you down. But even soulmates need saving. Cacao is getting harder to grow, and the supply chain is struggling. That’s why Kokomodo is making sure chocolate will always be there for you... by growing real cacao in a whole new way. Because love may be unpredictable, but chocolate shouldn’t be. ?? #happyvalentinesday #foodtech #chocolate

Chocoa 2025 has so far been an incredible gathering of the cocoa and chocolate industry, full of innovation, sustainability, and great conversations. Here are some of our insights, and why these are critical developments to watch out for: ?? Market dynamics: Cocoa prices surged 30% in December 2024, driven by extreme weather in West Africa and rising global demand, putting pressure on supply chains worldwide. ?? Consumer impact: Shrinkflation is reshaping the chocolate experience, with smaller bars and recipe changes becoming more common. ?? Bean-to-bar innovation: Sustainability and traceability are leading the charge, raising quality standards and lowering environmental impact. ?????? Women are driving change! At the #WINCC Women Across the Cocoa & Chocolate Value Chain event, we saw how women are innovating, leading, and creating a more sustainable industry for everyone. ?? Chocoa is an intimate gathering allowing you to meet old friends and make new ones Tuta Aquino, Jaime Recena, Dr. Christina Rohsius, Claudia Delbaere, Berlinda Addison-Ansah, Victoria Begli?a, Jack Steijn, Anna Laven, Mariana De La Rosa, Andrea Boekhoud - Montoya, Caroline Lubbers, Tony Myers, Rub Díaz M. ?? and of course, having the chance to try some of the most amazing chocolates in this space! For us, these insights highlight how interconnected the challenges and opportunities in cocoa are. We MUST work together to drive meaningful change and shape a stronger, more sustainable future for cocoa. And that’s what we are doing at Kokomodo! #Chocoa2025 #chocolate #foodtech #sustainability Dario Breitel, PhD, Neta Manela, PhD, Shir Avigal, Shay Vishner, Justin Fine

In case you missed it, Tal Govrin’s talk at ISM Cologne and ProSweets Cologne, 'The Cacao Crisis: Can Technology Save Our Beloved Chocolate?' broke down the challenges facing the future of chocolate—and why we need a new way forward. Here are some key takeaways from the talk: ?? Cacao is difficult to grow. It can only thrive in a narrow band of countries within 20 degrees of the equator, making production highly vulnerable to climate change and deforestation. ?? Prices are rising, quality is declining. Unpredictable harvests and supply chain instability are making high-quality cacao harder to source. ? The supply chain is long and complex. From farming to processing to transport, every step adds delays, risks, and emissions. This drives up costs for brands and chocolatiers, but Kokomodo can secure all year round production to gain stable supply. ?? Flavors should be predictable and customizable. Traditional cacao varies in taste due to growing conditions, but Kokomodo can fine-tune flavor profiles for consistency and innovation. ?? One Kokomodo bioreactor produces the equivalent of 750 cacao trees. That means more chocolate, fewer resources, and a sustainable way forward for the industry. The cacao crisis is real, but so is our solution. How do you see the future of chocolate evolving? #cacaocrisis #futureoffood #chocolate Dario Breitel, PhD, Neta Manela, PhD, Shay Vishner, Shir Avigal, Justin Fine

This week, I joined an inspiring panel at the 2050 Environment Conference, led by ?Ronit Eshel?, alongside climate tech leaders from H2Pro, Starstone, and NOF. Together, they explored how innovation can drive real solutions for a better planet. ?? At Kokomodo, we’re rethinking cacao, one of the most polluting foods globally. As cacao farming becomes unsustainable, it threatens both chocolate and the climate. But we see a future where chocolate is both delicious and sustainable. ?? Through climate-resilient technology, we’re reducing emissions, protecting rainforests, and ensuring cacao thrives without harming the planet. ?? Huge thanks to everyone who made this event a platform for real change. Check out some highlights from the conference!
