Say Hello to Kaoba (That’s “Kao-ba”)

Have you ever wondered how Kaoba got its name? Or maybe you’re just here to make sure you’re pronouncing it right. Don’t worry - let’s clear that up first. It’s Kao-ba (like cow, but with a K instead of moo). Simple, right?

Now that we’ve got that sorted, let’s talk about why we chose this name and what it means.

Inspired by Cacaofruit (Yes, It’s a Thing!)

Kaoba comes from the cacaofruit - the juicy, flavourful fruit that surrounds the cacao beans you probably associate with chocolate. Most of the time, this fruit gets thrown away during chocolate production, but we saw it for what it really is: a delicious, refreshing and naturally sweet ingredient that deserves the spotlight.

We wanted our name to reflect the magic of the cacaofruit, and the “cao” in Kaoba is our nod to this hidden gem. It’s short, catchy, and (if we do say so ourselves) a little bit cool.

A Name That Travels Well

When we were brainstorming names, we didn’t just want something that sounded great in English. We wanted a name that could cross borders just like the cacaofruit itself. Whether you’re in Paris, Tokyo, or São Paulo, Kaoba is easy to say and hard to forget.

A Word That Represents More

Kaoba isn’t just a name; it’s a promise. Every time you crack open a can of Kaoba, you’re choosing:

• Sustainability: We’re rescuing cacaofruit from being wasted.
• Flavor: A sparkling soda with a unique pear, lychee and citrus vibe.
• Impact: Supporting farmers and reducing waste, one sip at a time.

So, Why Kaoba?

Because it’s not just about what we make - it’s about what we stand for. Kaoba is fresh, simple and rooted in something meaningful. It’s a name that reflects our mission: turning something discarded into something extraordinary.

So next time someone asks, “What’s Kaoba?” you can smile, say, “Kao-ba,” and let them in on the delicious secret.
