Cocoa sits right at the heart of the sustainability conversation because it hits every pressure point: Rising demand. Supply issues. Climate vulnerability. Ethical concerns.
That’s why we take our responsibility seriously. We understand what’s at stake, and we’re committed to doing the right things for the right reasons. For us, it’s not about shortcuts or quick wins – it’s about rethinking how ingredients like cocoa can be part of a more resilient, more transparent, and more sustainable food system.

Upcycling with Purpose
What would traditionally be discarded is now transformed. PrimaFi Cocoa is made from the shells of cocoa beans – byproducts of chocolate production – milled into a fine, fibre-rich powder.
This approach gives new life to a material that’s high in fibre and offers a rich cocoa aroma. It’s a circular solution that maximises resources, reduces waste, and contributes to more sustainable food manufacturing.
Ethical & Responsible Sourcing
PrimaFi Cocoa is made using cocoa bean shells sourced from a partner with deep-rooted environmental and social values. The cocoa beans used are 100% organic-certified, and many come from farms that also meet Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance standards. These farms implement agroforestry systems that protect biodiversity and enhance long-term soil health.
Our partner works closely with smallholders and cooperatives, offering education, fair pricing, and community-level engagement. They maintain full supply chain visibility with robust internal controls – backed by third-party audits, field assessments, and ethical compliance programmes.
Deforestation-Free
Our PrimaFi Cocoa is sourced from cocoa beans that fully comply with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
Our supplier implements:
- Precise geolocation mapping of all farms
- Farm-level data on land use and agricultural methods
- Due diligence systems to assess and manage environmental risks
- TRACES reporting for all EU-bound shipments
Although PrimaFi Cocoa is made from shells obtained from multiple batches of cocoa beans, we work closely with our supplier to ensure all inputs meet EUDR standards. The cocoa shells used are derived exclusively from cocoa beans verified to be free from deforestation after the EUDR cut-off date of 30th December 2025.
Tested. Verified. Trusted.
Every batch of PrimaFi Cocoa is tested by an independent lab for heavy metals, aflatoxins, pesticides, mineral oils (MOSH/MOAH), and polycyclic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Microbiological testing ensures food safety. While the product is not currently Fairtrade-certified, all cocoa beans used meet high environmental and social standards.
