Coffee and Cocoa Extracts: Natural<br />

Products Full of Aroma<br />

Coffee and cocoa beans are highly aromatic. This is obvious to anyone who has ever smelled<br />

the intense aroma of freshly milled coffee beans or tasted freshly made cocoa. The raw beans<br />

only develop their full aromatic effect after roasting. That’s why producers from Indonesia use<br />

roasted coffee beans and cocoa powder as the raw materials for creating natural cocoa and<br />

coffee aromas. The extracts contain a large portion of natural aroma. Natural coffee and cocoa<br />

extracts are widely used in the food and drinks industry and can be found in products such as<br />

deserts, baked goods, ice cream, milk products and in the growing segment of iced coffee drinks.<br />

The Import Promotion Desk (IPD) an initiative promoting imports, supports manufacturers of<br />

natural aromatic substances, essential oils and plant extracts in exporting to the European<br />

market and introduces European traders to new partners and products from Indonesia, for<br />

instance at trade fairs – neutrally and free of charge.<br />

High quality natural raw<br />

materials<br />

Indonesia is made up of over 17,000<br />

islands. It has a high level of biodiversity<br />

and is rich in natural resources. One of<br />

the many advantages this brings is the<br />

range of natural ingredients available for<br />

food and drinks. Besides a wide variety<br />

of coconut products, these especially<br />

include spices, such as cinnamon, vanilla<br />

and ginger, from which essential oils and<br />

extracts are produced. And the delicate<br />

coffee and cocoa plants benefit from<br />

the nutrient-rich soil and favourable<br />

climate conditions of the Indonesian<br />

islands, which ensure constantly high<br />

temperatures, high humidity and ample<br />

shadow.<br />

Indonesian coffee is cultivated mainly<br />

in Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Flores and<br />

Bali. Formerly, the arabica bean was the<br />

focus of production, which is why it is also<br />

known as java coffee. Today, it is mostly<br />

robusta beans that are cultivated in the<br />

farming regions. And as for cocoa, it is<br />

the criollo variety that grows between<br />

Indonesia’s shadowy coconut palms.<br />

Cooperation with small farmers<br />

Most coffee and cocoa plantations<br />

are worked by small farmers who still<br />

harvest, dry, process and roast the<br />
