Introducing Flavourcode™ 01
UNEXPECTED TASTE INTENSITY
When was the last time, a chocolate surprised from the first second.
Sometimes, flavour just hits you. Full. Vivid. Immediate.
Flavourcode™ 01 is a 70% dark couverture with an unexpected taste intensity. It opens with intense notes of tropical fruit (passion fruit, pineapple, mango and ripe banana) layered with dried fruit and a bitter-sweet cocoa finish.
With the taste consistency to make your signature creation again and again. And the trusted workability Callebaut is known for.
Distinctive. And repeatable.
THE CHOCOLATE TASTE INTENSITY CHEFS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
THIS NEW REFERENCE POINT FOR CHOCOLATE TOOK US BACK TO WHERE TASTE STARTS: FERMENTATION.
Our search for the new reference point for chocolate taste took us back to the moment the cocoa fruit is opened and fermentation begins.
Traditional fermentation reveals some of the bean’s character, while much of its flavour potential remains hidden. After years of research, Callebaut developed a new proprietary method: Flavourcode™ fermentation.
This is not a new chocolate recipe. It’s a new way to make chocolate.
We ferment cocoa beans with the fruit’s natural pulp in sealed vessels. During this process, selected yeasts naturally present within the cocoa environment, are carefully guided to unlock previously unexplored flavours within the bean, revealing them with greater depth and intensity.
The result is chocolate with unexpected taste intensity, and the taste consistency and workability chefs expect.
A TASTE THAT WAS MISSING IN THE CHEF'S SPECTRUM.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR CREATIONS?
More flavour, less sweet.
Vivid flavours that stay present.
The fruit-forward intensity of Flavourcode™ 01 sits alongside deep cocoa and gentle bitters. The result is a fuller, richer and more complex chocolate taste, with flavours that stay clearly present in your creations.
Amplify its brighter flavour notes with complementary ingredients. Contrast them to keep the chocolate distinctive. Or let the chocolate lead and take a familiar creation somewhere unexpected.
And because its taste is consistent, your creative explorations can become signature creations you can make again and again.
