Chocolates tailored to your desires

The right taste, softness, and texture

ILLEXAO™

Our ILLEXAO™ range consists of solutions that can be mixed with cocoa butter, but that give you possibilities that cocoa butter alone cannot provide.

The natural options

ILLEXAO™ CB adapts easily to your needs for flavor, texture, and meltdown. All you need to do is replace 5 percent of the cocoa butter in your milk or dark chocolate recipes.
