The Sweet Freedom CHOC POT Hazelnot spread is a new product that takes on the classic chocolate hazelnut spread to offer health-conscious consumers a vegan-friendly option.
The product is made with a plant-based recipe that has no nuts, palm oil or refined sugar in the mix to make it a permissible option for consumers to indulge in this winter. The spread also comes in at 15-calories per teaspoon to further maximize its position as a better-for-you option for consumers in the UK to try out. The spread is launching as an Asda exclusive for £3.25.
Co-Founder Deborah Pyner spoke on the Sweet Freedom CHOC POT Hazelnot spread saying, "CHOC POT Hazelnot has been a real labour of love. We wanted to recreate that classic hazelnut-chocolate experience, but in a way that’s totally nut-free, natural and a little bit lighter. Launching it for Veganuary with Asda felt like the perfect moment – it’s indulgent, inclusive and shows that better-for-you choices can still taste amazing."
