Unbelievably delicious cocoa-free chocolate

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.

@maximilian_marquart What's it made of? It's sort of a bad look to not have ingredients listed anywhere on your site.

@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.

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!

@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!

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!

@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 :)

@maximilian_marquart, curious if @qoa is more of a "milk chocolate" or "dark chocolate" (or both). Is there dairy in it?

@qoa @jonathanfann It is both! There is white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate in it.

So cool. Just signed up for a kit to try it out. Good luck! Will you be doing non-dairy and non-sugar versions?

@andrew_gelman1 There will for sure be non-dairy. Non-Sugar soon. Our scientists @sara_marquart are already working heavily on it.

Would love to try for baking, does it melt like chocolate, can you mimic cocoa powder? Of course will just eat it as is :D

@northxnorthcutt glad that you asked! Actually we produce also QOA powder (= cocoa powder). So definitely possible to use it for baking! If there are going to be more requests for baking, we might launch that as well individually!

This is awesome! Chocolate, even 100% cocoa chocolate tends to upsets my stomach so this seems like a great sustainable alternative to satisfy my cravings. ?makers are the chocolates made of Oats or what are the ingredients? Thanks!
