Barry Callebaut is helping food manufacturers with the demand for healthier products, which includes confectionery and chocolate items. Callebaut’s new dark chocolate is made with Stevia, which has replaced the sugar entirely. The new chocolate product contains zero calories/serving, but with the same taste and texture as traditional chocolate. Stevia is a natural product, and is safe for everyone.
This chocolate will have the same properties as all traditional chocolate, so it can be used in all chocolate applications such as enrobing, molding, and all types of fillings and mixes.
Visit Barry Callebaut for more information on the new Stevia chocolate.
