For us, the consumer understood what we were proposing at a first glance: We found the solution by abstracting and synthesizing every accessory element, pointing to the essence and rawness of the cocoa pod itself. It is unusual to see mucilage in this way, so we place it in the foreground as the absolute protagonist of the packaging. Self-explanatory, it is understood without the need for any speech
