Strategic sourcing for steady supply

Deep in the wild forests of Western and Central Africa, where nature flourishes, lies a magical fruit, Katemfe (Thaumatococcus daniellii). We know it to be valuable for creating natural sugar reduction solutions.

Supporting social responsibility objectives through long-standing partnerships with local communities, we responsibly source it to create Talin® Blocks for your on-demand use in food and beverage formulations.
