History of BT Cocoa

Established in 1983, BT Cocoa has grown to become a leading cocoa ingredients processor. Originally founded and managed by the Piter Jasman family, BT Cocoa is now the largest cocoa ingredient producer in Asia and, by leveraging a fully integrated cocoa supply chain, it is able to supply and support customers of all sizes.

Operated by a large team of cocoa experts, with decades of shared cocoa processing knowledge, BT Cocoa prioritizes food safety, compliance, operational health and safety, and protecting the environment. With demand for quality cocoa ingredients in Indonesia and across Asia growing rapidly, an 85% stake in BT Cocoa was acquired by us in February 2019, thereby joining the portfolio of our other cocoa ingredient brands and further strengthening BT Cocoa’s position as a leading cocoa supplier.
