Creating non-chocolate chocolate

Sophie Jewett (York Cocoa House)
Coping with a world without chocolate? Creating non-chocolate chocolate: What could our chocolate of the future look, feel and taste like?

There's a growing demand for chocolate while the world's cocoa bean supply is running low. We might have to get used to a world without chocolate or get used to paying a lot more money for real chocolate. We're going to explore the core components that make the chocolate that we love and investigate if we really can recreate chocolate in a lab - or a pub!
