But do you really know what industrial chocolate is? Are you aware of the scope of services that industrial chocolate manufacturers can offer you? Read along to find out more about industrial chocolate.
What Industrial Chocolate Is and Who It's For
In simple terms, industrial chocolate is the “raw material” of consumer chocolate product manufacturers. The chocolate has undergone conching and is produced from cocoa liquor and cocoa butter combined with ingredients such as sugar. It is manufactured in bulk in order to meet the high demand for chocolate-related items in the market.
Industrial chocolate can be used in-house by vertically integrated manufacturers or sold to third parties to create finished chocolate products.
In the case of vertically integrated manufacturing, the cocoa is processed for the company’s finished products to then be distributed and sold under their brand. Meanwhile, for selling to third parties, customers can include small companies which do not manufacture their own chocolate and large companies that buy some or all of their chocolate requirements.
As an industrial chocolate manufacturer, Freyabadi Indotama supplies chocolate to semi-industries (which require 1 to 10 metric tons of chocolate per month) and industries (which require over 10 metric tons of chocolate per month). Our high production capability allows us to produce chocolate in large quantities for customers all over Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa.
In its applications, industrial chocolate is used in any industry that uses large volumes of chocolate products for its manufacturing process. This ranges from confectionery, industrial bakery, snacks and biscuits, dairy and desserts, cereals, to the beverage industry. This can also include large foodservice providers and quick-service restaurants a.k.a fast-food companies that require chocolate in large quantities.

For chocolate-related products, there are a lot of customization options. This can include anything from flavor and aroma, composition, viscosity, melting behavior, performance, production cost, product certifications such as halal and kosher, to product claims which can involve sugar, oils and fat, and dairy.
To be able to fulfill these requests, industrial chocolate manufacturers need to have an experienced research and development team.
