The Puratos Belcolade plant-based Belgian milk chocolate is a vegan-friendly offering from the brand that's focused on providing consumers with an easier way to enjoy dairy-free treats this holiday season. The chocolate is reported to have a very similar profile to milk chocolate, but is dairy and nut-free with a patent-pending product in the recipe. Known as Belcolade Selection M. Plant-Based Cacao-Trace, the chocolate maintains a versatile profile that is suitable for use in hollow figures, tablets and even pralines.
SBU Chocolate Director at Puratos Youri Dumont commented on the new Puratos Belcolade plant-based Belgian milk chocolate saying, "Until now, there was a very clear gap in the plant-based chocolate market. We know the chocolate sector is still driven by many millions of milk chocolate lovers, whose expectations weren’t being adequately met when they looked for plant-based alternatives. So this new product is really about indulging these milk chocolate fans with a really attractive plant-based option. We’re very excited to have solved the puzzle of delicious, allergen-free, plant-based chocolate.”
