Barry Callebaut expands dairy-free chocolate portfolio
22 May 2018 --- Barry Callebaut has announced the expansion of its dairy-free chocolate product portfolio, the new Pathway range which is set to premiere at this year’s annual Sweets & Snacks Expo in Chicago, Illinois on May 22-24, 2018. With consumers demanding more dairy-free options across food categories, Pathway offers a range of dairy-free chocolate solutions, that is ready to use for myriad applications, including confectionery, baked goods, cereals and snack products.
“We view the confectionery market as ideal for dairy-free offerings. Dark chocolate is often produced using no dairy ingredients. So on its own, it is a great foundational start and offers those living a dairy-free lifestyle an option in the chocolate category,” she notes. “Given many consumers do prefer milk chocolate, we anticipate a dairy-free substitute for milk chocolate will continue to grow in popularity and drive chocolate innovation towards more creamy and milky variations without using dairy ingredients. Barry Callebaut offers a 'milk-like' chocolate product to fit that consumer demand. The Pathway coatings and inclusions offer sweet and decadent flavor profiles that ensure Barry Callebaut customers can create products that respond directly to consumer demand for more dairy-free options, without sacrificing on taste.”
The Pathway dairy-free range of coatings and inclusions does not contain any dairy ingredients. These products are offered in dark and “milk-like” flavors. The “milk-like” products offer a lighter color and “milkier” type flavor profile to mimic as closely as possible the flavor of milk chocolate.
The new product line is an example of Barry Callebaut’s commitment to product development and innovation that responds to consumer demands.
