Leading entities in the high fat powder sector are making strides towards the creation of novel products like high-fat cocoa powders in a bid to cater to the growing need for healthier and more indulgent alternatives in the food and drink industry. High-fat cocoa powders are cocoa powders with a higher cocoa butter content in comparison to standard cocoa powders. For example, in April 2024, Barry Callebaut, a well-established Swiss chocolate and cocoa producer, introduced its newest cocoa powder, MALEO, to the Asia-Pacific markets. The MALEO range 10/12 provides a darker brown hue, adding to the visual attractiveness of any cocoa-based product, along with a richer, chocolatier taste for an enduring cocoa experience. The MALEO high-fat 22/24 powder grants a creamier sensation in the mouth, enriching both texture and taste, while also absorbing less liquid to maintain consistency in various usages. Use of the MALEO cocoa powders can lead to as much as a 20 percent cut in powder usage, subsequently resulting in financial savings.
