Joanes

Joanes cocoa powders range from natural to dark Dutched, and everything in between.

Our Joanes Brazilian cocoa powder has been specially developed for applications in the dairy, ice cream, biscuit, confectionery, chocolate milk and chocolate coating industries.

Joanes also produces an exceptional, no-sodium added cocoa powder to support the manufacture of health-conscious application recipes. Because Joanes cocoa powders are obtained from grinding cocoa cake, they retain their superior color and flavor characteristics.

The color profiles of both our natural and Dutched Joanes cocoa powders extend from light brown to dark and black colors, providing delicious flavors within a 10-12% fat content range. All of our Joanes cocoa powders are also available as cocoa press cake and we also supply cocoa liquors and cocoa butters to customers in South America.

History of Joanes

Founded by Gill & Duffus in 1946 in Salvador, Joanes has been a trusted cocoa ingredients brand in Brazil for generations.

In 1979 Joanes’ operations were relocated to a new processing facility in the city of Ilhéus, to meet growing market demand and to expand innovation capacity. The facility has been based there ever since.

Added to our portfolio in 2015, Joanes cocoa products deliver consistent and reliable quality to our customers.

Chocolate has long been synonymous with Valentine’s Day, with sweet treats a classic way to celebrate the season of love.

But Valentine’s Day is evolving, with Gen Z and Millennials redefining traditions. Many consumers are choosing to celebrate this day with friends and family members, as well as significant others. In 2023, 40% of Gen Z and 20% of Millennials said they were planning to buy their friends a Valentine’s gift.^[1] And what better way to do so than with cocoa?

As consumers change the way they celebrate Valentine’s Day – and who they celebrate with – there is an opportunity for manufacturers to develop new products. From introducing more exotic flavors in confectionery to creating more experiential formats and expanding into new categories, we’re seeing companies inventing new ways for consumers to celebrate the season of love with those who matter most to them. At ofi we explore the top chocolate, confectionery and bakery trends shaping Valentine’s Day 2024 and how manufacturers can develop new offerings to win the hearts of consumers.
