The Freecao cocoa-free chocolate products are being launched in Italy from Foreverland as a series of treats perfect for health-conscious consumers to incorporate into their regime.
The products include pralines and a panettone, which are both crafted with carob instead of traditional cocoa. The use of carob helps the products to maintain a chocolate-like taste, but with added benefits like a low glycemic index level, high antioxidant content and high fiber levels. The products also require 90% less water than cocoa-based alternatives and generate 80% fewer emissions to boot.
CMO of Foreverland Giuseppe D'Alessandro spoke on the Freecao cocoa-free chocolate products saying, "A high-quality panettone, synonymous with tradition, becomes a vehicle for innovation and change as the first step in developing products and collaborations that are not only good in taste but also for the planet and the future."
