Copenhagen-based Endless Food Co has developed a novel way of making cacao-free chocolate by using side streams from breweries. The company is now scaling up operations following fresh investment. “The funding allows us to build a pilot facility and expand our team,” co-founder Max Bogenmann tells Impact Loop.
Matt Orlando transitioned from his role as head chef at Copenhagen’s world-renowned Michelin-starred restaurant Noma when he opened Amass - a sustainability-focussed eatery - in a former warehouse in 2013. The new restaurant was characterised by artistic playfulness and a goal to reducing food waste.
At the end of 2022, Amass went bankrupt and its doors closed. But by that time, the restaurant's chefs Christian Bach and Max Bogenmann had been experimenting extensively in the kitchen, which paved the way for their chocolate-based business idea.
