Founded by chocolate industry veterans Ross Newton and Kit Tomlinson alongside Professor David Salt, NuKoKo has unveiled a bold new visual identity, refreshed website, and refined market positioning—signalling their readiness to enter the B2B confectionery market with European-grown fava bean-based chocolate alternatives.
Why this matters to manufacturers:
The rebrand comes at a critical moment. With cocoa prices hitting unprecedented volatility and sustainability pressure mounting, Nukoko is positioning itself as the solution confectionery manufacturers have been asking for:
- 1:1 replacement ratio for cocoa in existing processes
- European supply security (no 4,000-mile supply chain)
- Up to 90% lower carbon footprint with regenerative agriculture
- Full chocolate flavour profile without compromise
The new brand identity reflects what the founders have always believed: sustainable solutions shouldn’t require manufacturers to compromise on taste, performance, or profitability.
What makes this different:
This isn’t a startup experimenting with alternatives; it’s chocolate industry insiders who’ve spent over a decade building successful chocolate businesses, now applying that expertise to solve the sector’s biggest challenges. Professor Salt brings 35 years of food systems research to unlock the flavour potential of fava beans.
