The world’s cocoa supply challenges are real. As Jacopo Prisco so articulately reports, innovators across the globe are exploring many solutions – and happy for Celleste Bio Ltd. to be spotlighted for its use of cellular agriculture to farm 100% real cocoa. We are a #cocoatech company comprised of chocolate lovers that are committed to producing a sustainable cocoa supply. We are the only solution today that combines the best traditional farming practices with modern technologies to produce 100% real, chocolate grade cocoa butter. Our vision is to scale this to grow anywhere in the world without having to ever cut down a single tree. We think that’s pretty sweet. 🍫 🍫 🍫 Hanne Volpin, Ben Sivan, Silvia Zypman, Radi Aly Nitza Kardish, PhD, Barak Singer, The Trendlines Group Laura Shulman Mondelēz International
