Meeting growing demand for functional chocolate

Barry Callebaut will showcase a wide array of innovative cocoa and chocolate products on display at Health Ingredients Europe.

The company has recently introduced the first industrial-scale probiotic chocolate as well as the first tooth-friendly chocolate.

Its spectrum of nutritionally improved chocolate products includes fiber-enriched, sugar and/or fat reduced and sugar-free chocolate.

The new Croquoa is a texture based on cocoa and sugar.

It is crunchy, contains no artificial additives, no coloring, flavoring or conservatives.

It is made from defatted cocoa powder and its aerated texture helps push the calories down.
