An Amazon native fruit, cupuaçu is known for its acidic, concentrated flavor, which gives rise to typical delicacies of the region such as juice, ice cream and sweets. But, in addition to the custom of the local population, there are several potentials yet to be explored - one of them is the cupulate, a product similar to traditional chocolate.

Likewise the products made from cocoa, the cupulate can be produced both in the form of a bar or drink, and one aspect that make this possible is that cupuaçu belongs to the same genus as cocoa.

However, although it is a creamier and caffeine-free alternative to traditional chocolate, the cupulate faces the lack of industrial processes that enable its greater commercial production.
