Episode 4 Overview

For well over a year I have been following not just news of alternative ingredients – sweeteners and fats – used in chocolate, but also cocoa-free alternatives to chocolate.

alt.chocolates, as I think of them, use a variety of techniques, including precision fermentation and cell culturing, that attempt to mimic the aroma, taste, texture, and technical characteristics of real chocolate made from cocoa beans. One idea is that by not using cocoa beans to make chocolate there is a reduction in several different measures of environmental impact as well as sidestepping issues of illegal labor in the cocoa«-»chocolate supply chain.

Question for the Episode

Are alt.chocolates the way to Pod Save Chocolate? A way? What about WNWN’s products? How do they stack up?
