Candy Industry Senior Editor Liz Parker recently was able to chat with Dr. Naveen Pessani, technical category manager for chocolate and confectionery, ofi, about the company's focus on cocoa ingredients, its Cocoa Compass initiative, and more.
ofi regularly focuses on innovation with its cocoa ingredients, as well as its Cocoa Compass report, which aims to make cocoa more sustainable.
