Barry Callebaut Unveils ‘A Symphony of Caramel’ at ISM

01 Feb 2016 --- At the occasion of the ISM trade fair in Cologne, Barry Callebaut, the world’s leading manufacturer of high quality chocolate and cocoa products, presents a new high quality chocolate: Caramel Doré. With this premium Belgian caramelized chocolate, Global Chocolatier Barry Callebaut makes a divine caramel experience available to its customers worldwide. An innovation with a broad appeal, as caramel is the second most popular flavor in the world of chocolate.

Premiumization of chocolate experience

One of the trends that will continue unabated in 2016 is the premiumization of the chocolate experience: consumers crave for uncompromisingly indulgent, premium chocolate experiences, and expect food manufacturers and retailers to cater to this craving.

In the knowledge that caramel is the second most popular flavor among consumers (after chocolate!), Barry Callebaut developed a completely new premium Belgian chocolate: Caramel Doré. The Caramel Doré offers consumers a warm and creamy caramel touch to their premium chocolate experiences.

“We are constantly innovating to create products that trigger the imagination of consumers,” says Bas Smit, Global and European Marketing Director of Barry Callebaut. “The Caramel Doré, with its unique flavor and texture, offers a new taste sensation, based on one of the most popular flavors in the chocolate world.”

Symphony of Caramel

The Caramel Doré, the only premium Belgian caramelized chocolate, can be turned into confectionery applications, ice cream and desserts to create multi-flavor and multi-texture sensations. The chocolate has a creamy, golden color. The explosive caramel taste, accompanied with caramelized milky notes, a distinct biscuit flavor and a pinch of salt adds an extra layer of sensory delight.

To showcase all possibilities that Caramel Doré offers in the industry, Barry Callebaut launches ‘A Symphony of Caramel’ in its STUDIO at ISM. In the STUDIO visitors have the chance to interact and discover the chocolates of tomorrow – like Caramel Doré – in a vibrant place. They can smell, touch, feel and taste all quality ingredients – freshly made by five renowned craftsmen/woman.
