These Single-Origin Cocoa Liquors from OFI are Premium
Michael Hemsworth — February 2, 2026 — Lifestyle
Olam Food Ingredients (OFI) is slated to launch these new single-origin cocoa liquors at ISM Cologne 2026 in response to manufacturer demand for artisan-inspired solutions that support industrial scaling. The range includes liquors sourced from the Dominican Republic, Uganda and Papua New Guinea, and combine craft-inspired batch roasting with advanced sensory mapping and tailored fermentation. The solutions will allow chocolate makers to effectively replicate the origin, complex-focused flavors that are desired but often difficult to achieve at scale.
Global Head of Cocoa Liquor Simon Brayn-Smith spoke on the single-origin cocoa liquors saying, "The challenge for chocolate manufacturers is producing true craft-quality flavour without compromising consistency. Our new range bridges that gap, bringing the depth and nuance of single-origin cocoa to industrial processes.”
