Imagine when as a chocolate manufacturer you have control over price of cocoa, control over production, control over not needing to rely on expensive transport, etc. basivally it will lead to predicatble cost in your supply chain and this will lead to higher productivity and profits.  just one scenario. This ofcourse will bot replace the supply of natural cocoa in the medium term but in the long term the implications can be huge.

Trendlines portfolio company Celleste Bio introduces world&rsquo s first milk chocolate bars with cell-cultured cocoa butter
The Trendlines Group (Trendlines) (SGX:42T) announced that its portfolio company, Celleste Bio, successfully produce the world&rsquo s first milk chocolate bars made with real cocoa butter using cell suspension culture technology.
Major multinational snack company, Mondelē z International, used the cocoa butter from Celleste Bio to produce almost 12 chocolate bars that met its product standards.
According to Trendlines, Celleste Bio intends to transform the chocolate market by using AI modelling to tailor cocoa butter for specific melting points and flavour profiles, giving manufacturers a boost in innovation and competitiveness.
Meanwhile, Celleste Bio is developing a resilient supply chain by achieving commercial-scale cocoa butter production in a 1000-liter bioreactor using only a single cocoa bean.
Trendlines claims that this process eliminates the sole dependence on the traditional farming of cocoa trees and supplements production, without replacing it.
&ldquo This milestone demonstrates Celleste Bio' s cell cultured ingredients are bio-identical to conventionally grown cocoa - meaning they deliver the same texture, melt profile and sensory experience, and sets the stage for scaling production to market-ready quantities in the foreseeable future,&rdquo says Haim Brosh, Trendlines&rsquo CEO.

TRENDLINES' s World First: Chocolate Made With Cocoa Butter From a Lab
 
  22 April 2026
 
| Imagine biting into a rich, velvety piece of milk chocolate that tastes exactly like your favorite brand, but was produced in a lab. It is already a reality -- and a world first, according to Singapore-listed  The Trendlines Group which  holds a 17% stake in Celleste Bio which it helped found and incubate. It has just  announced  a milestone for  Celleste Bio: the unveiling of the world&rsquo s first milk chocolate bars made with cell-cultured cocoa butter. This product matches the texture, melt profile, and sensory experience of the chocolate we&rsquo ve known for years. ![]() |
 
|
How Does " Lab-Grown" Chocolate Work? |
Celleste Bio uses proprietary  cell suspension culture technology.  In simple terms, cells from a high-quality cocoa bean are grown in a controlled environment.

Celleste can produce enough chocolate-grade cocoa butter for chocolate bars using only a single cocoa bean.
The Trendlines press release says Celleste intends to " transform the chocolate market by using AI modelling to tailor cocoa butter for specific melting points and flavour profiles" .
Over the past three years, Celleste has validated its cultured cocoa butter as a direct alternative, and established a pilot facility for scaling production.
 
In a show of confidence,  Mondelē z International,  the maker of Cadbury and Toblerone,  acted as a strategic and design partner, using Celleste&rsquo s cocoa butter to produce almost 12 chocolate bars that met its rigorous product standards.
 
" This milestone demonstrates Celleste' s cell cultured ingredients are bio-identical to conventionally grown cocoa - meaning they deliver the same texture, melt profile and sensory experience, and sets the stage for scaling production to market-ready quantities in the foreseeable future." -- Haim Brosh, CEO, Trendlines Group |
|
What This May Mean for Cocoa Prices |
Traditional cocoa farming will come under pressure.  Celleste&rsquo s technology introduces a  resilient supply chain  by achieving commercial-scale production in a 1,000-liter bioreactor using a single cocoa bean.
This process " eliminates the sole dependence on the traditional farming of cocoa trees and supplements production, without replacing it," says Trendlines.
By moving production to controlled facilities, the industry can create a buffer against the sharp price spikes we see when traditional harvests fail.
Will chocolates get cheaper?
It' s too early to tell.  With market-ready cultured cocoa butter anticipated by 2027, the goal is commercial viability.
Because cell-cultured cocoa isn' t dependent on the weather, it offers a way to bypass the supply shocks that drive up the price of chocolates.
For chocolate makers, this is a game-changer. Manufacturers can now access a replacement that " preserves the quality and functionality that chocolate makers and consumers depend on" .
 
With  US$5.6 million  already raised from investors&mdash including Mondelē z International and The Trendlines Group&mdash Celleste Bio is moving fast.   As Trendlines CEO Haim Brosh stated, this milestone " sets the stage for scaling production to market-ready quantities in the foreseeable future" . We are standing at the edge of a " chocolate revolution" that ensures sustainable growth without harming natural resources. |
