A chocolate recipe worth taking our time over.
Two founders. Two years of recipe development. One simple idea: halal beef collagen that we would genuinely enjoy.
Made together, from the beginning.
We are Ahmed and Suleiman, the co-founders of BUF Protein. We wanted a simple halal beef-collagen option with a chocolate flavour we would look forward to.
For two years, we developed and refined the recipe together in our kitchens. The goal stayed the same: a lightly sweetened chocolate formula with three clearly named ingredients.
Once the recipe was ready, we brought it to a licensed manufacturing facility. The kitchen trials were the development stage, not where the commercial product is made.

02Recipe refinement
Keep refining the simple things.
Across two years of development, we worked on the chocolate flavour and light sweetness while keeping the formula to three ingredients.

03Manufacturing
Bring the recipe to the pouch.
After development, the recipe moved to a licensed manufacturing facility for the commercial product.
Chocolate taste. Simple ingredients. Clear sourcing.
Hydrolyzed beef collagen from a halal-certified source, organic alkalized cocoa powder, and sucralose. The formula we spent two years bringing together.
