Gold of the pod

Oabika

Winner of the 2021 Sirha Innovation Award, Oabika is a cocoa fruit juice concentrate 72° Brix. It is made from the still-undervalued white pulp that protects beans in the cocoa pod, also known as mucilage.
It has a very nuanced profile, oscillating between subtle fermented notes, fruity notes of small, tangy berries such as redcurrant and more gourmet notes of candied fruit.
