Solutions Built Around Your Challenge

Every chocolate project begins with a specific business or technical need.
Our R&D and manufacturing teams align solutions to your exact requirement.

I want a custom chocolate recipe

We develop bespoke chocolate formulations aligned with your target taste profile, ingredient strategy, cost structure, and processing requirements.

I want to scale production

If your existing manufacturing lines are at capacity, we support seamless scale-up without compromising product quality or consistency.

I want to develop market-relevant products

We help translate consumer trends and category insights into feasible chocolate concepts that can be manufactured reliably at scale.

I want specialised manufacturing capabilities

When your product requires formats, inclusions, or processing complexity beyond your current setup, our facility becomes your extended capability.

Custom Formulation

Custom Formulation &
Signature Flavour Development

Our formulation expertise goes beyond taste — it is engineered for performance, stability, and repeatability.

  • Recipe Homologation

    Complete recipe homologation for commercial production

  • Flavour Profile Optimisation

    Flavour profile optimisation for targeted consumer segments

  • Format Exploration

    Format exploration and adaptation across product types

  • Cross-Category R&D

    Cross-category R&D support (snacks, bakery, desserts, beverages)

  • Rheology Customisation

    Rheology and viscosity customisation for specific applications

Every formulation is validated for manufacturing behaviour, shelf stability, and sensory consistency.

Chocolate Format Adaptation

A recipe must perform differently across formats. We help adapt chocolate formulations
for diverse applications while preserving sensory quality.

Formats We Support

From bars, coatings, drops, chips, inclusions, spreads, and drinking chocolate, we ensure:

  • 1.

    Proper flow and moulding behaviour

  • 2.

    Stable setting and finish

  • 3.

    Compatibility with downstream processing

  • 4.

    Shelf-life integrity and texture consistency

Your chocolate is engineered to perform exactly as intended — in production and in the market.

Flexible Co-Manufacturing &
Capacity Expansion Support

SCALE WITHOUT STOPPING

When demand grows faster than infrastructure, innovation should not slow down.

Browns & More operates as an extension of your manufacturing operation, offering:

  • 1.

    Co-manufacturing support without IP dilution

  • 2.

    Consistent replication of existing formulations

  • 3.

    Controlled processes to match your current quality benchmarks

Your consumers experience the same product — while you gain additional capacity and operational flexibility.

Specialised Chocolate NPD Capabilities

Advanced development for specialized chocolate products

Sugar-Free Chocolate Development

Developing sugar-free chocolate requires precise formulation control. We work with polyols, fibres, alternative sweeteners, and blends to achieve:

  • Balanced sweetness curves
  • Proper viscosity and flow
  • Clean taste profiles without aftertaste

Dairy-Free / Plant-Based Chocolate

We create dairy-free chocolate that delivers creaminess and indulgence without milk ingredients.

Through careful flavour and rheology engineering, we ensure smooth mouthfeel and familiar taste using plant-based systems.

Flexible Chocolate Formats

We manufacture chocolates in formats your current line may not support:

  • Mini tablets, drops, chips
  • Small-format indulgence (8g, 25g)
  • Large bars and slabs (100g+)

Weight consistency, shape precision, and finish are maintained across formats.
