Celleste Bio is focused on producing high quality and high value cocoa ingredients using cell culture methods, eliminating the dependence on cultivation of cocoa trees. The company will make cocoa ingredients from naturally occurring cocoa cells without genetic modification or manipulation. Celleste was founded by four entrepreneurs bringing a wealth of interdisciplinary experience in the agrifood sector, specifically in the cellular biology field. The cultivation of cocoa worldwide has sustainability challenges, including risks of deforestation and biodiversity loss, threats of unreliable production due to climate change, child labor issues, and higher carbon emissions than other food sources. New technologies that enable the production of cocoa ingredients without these risks can help ensure a more sustainable supply of cocoa ingredients while appealing to consumers’ increasing demand for more environmentally friendly food choices.

One pod, one bean is all it takes to secure the world cocoa supply
July 7 is International Chocolate Day. Imagine an era when this cannot readily be celebrated because we are running out of cocoa. Due to climate change, and the increasing awareness of the environmental impact of cocoa farming, the cocoa supply is in danger and prices are soaring. At Celleste Bio we farm cocoa in a new way. Using one pod, one bean we will grow and supply the world with 100% natural cocoa. Celleste Bio Ltd. Michal Beressi Golomb Mondelēz International The Trendlines Group
Celleste Bio is rethinking cocoa farming
Tree-free, real, 100% natural cocoa butter and cocoa powder. At Celleste Bio the "Alternative" is in the production method and not in the product. Thank you, Flora Southey for explaining this important point. Michal Beressi Golomb

Excited to be featured by Flora Southey on FoodNavigator as one of the cocoa supply solutions that can protect the world’s chocolate. At Celleste Bio Ltd. we're using our unique technology to produce 100% real cocoa - without ever cutting down another tree. One pod. One bean. Is all it takes to grow the world's chocolate. 🍫 🍫 🍫 #Cocoatech #Biotech #Agtech #AI Hanne Volpin
With #cocoa prices at record highs and irresponsible sourcing practices continuing to plague the sector, #chocolate makers may well be tempted to give cocoa-free (or 'tree-free') alternatives a try. Who can they turn to? We round up six alt choc start-ups rethinking cocoa with sustainability in mind. Planet A Foods Voyage Foods Win-Win Celleste Bio Ltd. Foreverland Food NuKoKo https://lnkd.in/dvDk7dG9
Israel-based start-up Celleste-Bio uses a proprietary combination of biotechnology and AI to produce cocoa ingredients. Precision fermentation eliminates the dependence on cultivation of cocoa trees and will help ensure cocoa yield supply is invariable, not dependent on climate conditions, close to production sites and a final product of superior quality. This is accomplished without genetic modification or manipulation by extracting cocoa cells from cocoa pods and growing them in a controlled setting with water and nutrients. It is a continuous cycle that repeats itself, without needing to crack open another pod. “We want to offer people the pleasure and health that high-quality cocoa products provide, while eliminating the challenges of sustainable production that we face in cocoa production today,” said Hanne Volpin, co-founder and chief technology officer.
