Fuji Oil’s New “CP Series” Offers Solutions to Rising Cocoa Prices
Amid escalating cocoa prices, Fuji Oil is strengthening its offerings for commercial-use chocolates with the release of its “CP Series” in June. This innovative line of compound chocolates is designed to balance premium quality with cost efficiency, providing a viable alternative for businesses affected by the cocoa market fluctuations.
Redefining Compound Chocolate
The CP Series takes compound chocolate to the next level by delivering the smooth texture and rich quality typically associated with pure chocolate. Utilizing Fuji Oil’s advanced plant-based oil technology, the product incorporates an alternative fat with a melt profile similar to cocoa butter. This not only achieves a creamy mouthfeel but also ensures consistent supply and significant cost advantages.
Its neutral flavor profile allows it to be blended with existing chocolates, enabling users to adjust costs while maintaining the original flavor. This adaptability has made it an attractive option for bakeries and confectioneries facing rising ingredient costs.
Product Lineup
- “Sweet Chocolate CP25 Flakes”: This tempering chocolate offers a classic, versatile flavor suitable for a variety of applications, including coatings, baked goods, mousses, and ganache. It maximizes flavor potential while using a minimal amount of cocoa.
- “White Chocolate CP07 Flakes”: Known for its clean, crisp taste, this product can be used as a standalone white chocolate or as a base for flavored chocolates like strawberry and matcha.
Growing Popularity
Since its launch, the CP Series has been widely adopted by confectioneries and bakeries across Japan. Businesses struggling with the challenges of cocoa price hikes have found the series to be a reliable and high-performing alternative.
Market Recognition
The CP Series has also garnered significant attention, ranking 30th in Nikkei Trendy’s “Top 100 Hit Predictions for 2025” as a premium compound chocolate. Its innovative approach and ability to address industry challenges have made it a product to watch in the coming years.
