Indulgence is at the heart of all things confectionery, from chocolates and truffles to filled snack cakes and spreads. While indulgence remains the fundamental driver of growth in this segment, expectations for sustainability and healthier choices continue to rise. Hitting the sweet spot across these benefits will accelerate your innovations and help you stand out in the market.
We have a passion for solving our customers’ product development challenges. One of today’s urgent challenges for the confectionery industry is cocoa butter scarcity. As the pioneers in creating Cocoa Butter Equivalents in the 60s we have decades of expertise in cocoa butter alternatives. This means solutions for chocolate and chocolate-like experiences for coating, fillings and sweet spreads applications. Our confectionery experts are ready to help you with your reformulation needs, whether it’s a full or partial replacer of cocoa butter, adjusting the ratio of filling in your pralines or reformulating your product range with indulgent compound products. The options are endless. A cocoa shortage doesn’t mean a chocolate crisis.
