About NuKoKo

NuKoKo is the new wave of bean-to-bar manufacturing. We have invented a proprietary technology to naturally create a new type of chocolate from ingredients in the UK. It is 100% cocoa-free. Our alt-chocolate is not only delicious but more sustainable and healthier than existing chocolate. Why are you messing with chocolate we hear you say? We are chocolate obsessives and having worked in the industry for the last 15 years have recognised the negative impact the cocoa industry has had on the world and things are just getting worse. 🌲 Massive deforestation to keep up with demand and the effects of climate change 🌍 Chocolate has 5th highest carbon footprint for food 🍫 Huge future chocolate deficit forecast if the world increases in temp by 1.5 degrees. This means there has to be a solution to ensure the future supply of chocolate in a sustainable, affordable and environmentally positive way. Our NuKoKo alt-chocolate harnesses the power of the local beans to recreate our beloved chocolate for the future. Hence why we call ourselves bean-to-bar makers, different beans , same outcome.
