Looking For A Chocolate Alternative?
JM Posner Introduces a Chocolate Alternative for Catering Businesses
Cocoa beans have evolved into a globally cherished commodity, primarily known as the essential ingredient in chocolate production. However, the global cocoa market is currently facing a critical juncture, with a surge in demand projected to surpass the available supply, due to a multitude of challenges.
The global chocolate market
In 2024, cocoa prices have witnessed an unprecedented escalation, with costs growing by a massive 140%. This dramatic rise is largely attributed to poor harvests stemming from extreme weather events in key cocoa-producing nations in West Africa. The adverse conditions have resulted in a scarcity of cocoa beans, creating ripple effects across the global market.
Faced with these challenges, JM Posner has taken proactive steps to safeguard the chocolate supply chain for our valued customers. Recognising the importance of cost-effectiveness and continuity in business operations, we have introduced an innovative and sustainable alternative to chocolate products specifically designed for catering businesses.
Sustainable alternative to chocolate products
At JM Posner, we understand the critical role that chocolate plays to our customers and the importance of ensuring a stable supply chain. Our Chocolate Alternative range not only aligns with our commitment to sustainability but also empowers catering businesses to continue offering high-quality chocolate products while managing costs effectively.
One of the key advantages is that our chocolate alternative products possess equivalent characteristics to regular chocolate:
- Same characteristics as chocolate
- Same tempering as chocolate
- Same behaviour as chocolate
- More stable at extreme temperatures
- More competitive price
- It is not a chocolate, but not a standard compound as it still needs tempering.
In the face of the escalating cocoa crisis, we understand businesses and consumers are experiencing the impact on their costs. JM Posner's innovative approach to introducing sustainable alternatives underscores our dedication to supporting our customers and adapting to the changing landscape of the industry.
However, our Chocolate alternatives offer an economically viable solution, allowing catering businesses and individuals to continue enjoying quality creations without compromising their budgets.
