QOA - Unbelievably delicious cocoa-free chocolate

by•

QOA is doing for chocolate, what Oatly did for milk by developing the world's first 100% cocoa-free chocolate. Their chocolate tastes & feels like conventional chocolate but at 10x sustainability. By 2035, QOA will replace chocolate in mass-market products.

@mandaj098 It also tastes amazing. ;-)
Jeremy Wilt
@maximilian_marquart Ex Hershey's here and LOVE what you're doing! This is NOW, not the future.

@maximilian_marquart What's it made of? It's sort of a bad look to not have ingredients listed anywhere on your site.
Maximilian Marquart
Maker
@mike_seekwell It is all natural ingredients, e.g. kernels and cereals. There was just not enough space here to name them but we follow a strict clean label policy.

@mike_seekwell It is also gluten-free.

As early employee, I already had the chance to try QOA and to my taste, the last prototype is just amazingly delicious! Can't wait to scale this product! And just learning about the incredible amount of water needed for 1kg of cocoa (circa 27.000l, what makes it THE most water consuming plant we eat) convinced me to join Sara and Max on the mission to replace cocoa in mass products!
Conor Naughton
@ana_caro Pretty amazing. I have spent a lot of time with Cacao producers in Guatemala and experimented with coffee cascara as a substitute for making chocolate with delicious results. I hope this is groundbreaking! There are so many environmental and genetic issues and obstacles with cacao (not to mention so much bad chocolate). I am really excited to taste this!

@ana_caro @conor_naughton Uhh We should talk offline maybe... Sounds very intersting!
Clementine Chambon
This chocolate looks unbelievably delicious! In fact looks a lot like the artisanal chocolate that I am addicted to from Belgium. Can only hope I am one of the lucky ones chosen to try out a SUPERMASSIVE TESTKIT pick meee!

@c_chambon Hard to better than chocolate from Belgium though, and that means a lot, coming from Switzerland! 🇨🇭

The Supermassive Test Kit, that can be ordered for free on our page www.qoacompany.com, contains 9 highly exclusive and limited pralines, made with our white, milk-type and dark QOA. And if you wonder, how we do it: we are using the same technology as in beer brewing: fermentation! In our case, we are using precision fermentation to turn natural ingredients in our QOA.

That's a big claim, non-chocolate that stands up to real chocolate...can't wait to try it out!

@dfoster Just try it and you will see :)
Chris Cardé
I had the opportunity to try QOA just a few days ago - really an amazing product! I hope -- for the sake of the environment and chocolate lovers everywhere -- that they take this product to the 🌙 and back!

@chriscarde Thanks Chris!!
Jonathan Fann
@maximilian_marquart, curious if @qoa is more of a "milk chocolate" or "dark chocolate" (or both). Is there dairy in it?
Maximilian Marquart
Maker
@qoa @jonathanfann It is both! There is white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate in it.
Andrew Gelman
So cool. Just signed up for a kit to try it out. Good luck! Will you be doing non-dairy and non-sugar versions?
Maximilian Marquart
Maker
@andrew_gelman1 There will for sure be non-dairy. Non-Sugar soon. Our scientists @sara_marquart are already working heavily on it.
Kenn K
I’m excited about the health possibilities. We’ve already moved to plant based products like Silk milk and Impossible Burgers and sausage patties. Does it contain less sugar or other undesirable ingredients? If QOA tastes as good as real chocolate, this will be everywhere! Good luck to you!
Maximilian Marquart
Maker
@kenn_k Thanks for your kind words! At the moment it contains a similar amount of sugar than conventional chocolate but we are working heavily on functionalizing it. Try it out and let us know :)
Dawn Veltri
I had no idea cocoa was so detrimental to communities and the environment. It looks delicious!
Sara Marquart

@dawn_veltri1 We are more than excited to see if people also think it tastes delicious, after trying it out :-)
