PrimaFi Cocoa - Cocoa Powder Replacement

PrimaFi Cocoa is an ultrafine, micronised powder made from cocoa bean shells – a natural part of the cocoa bean traditionally discarded during chocolate production.

Using advanced milling technology, the shells are processed into a free-flowing powder with particle sizes of approximately 20–30 microns, delivering excellent texture and mouthfeel in finished applications.

In many formulations, manufacturers can replace up to 50% of cocoa powder with PrimaFi Cocoa while maintaining the chocolate profile consumers expect.
