VENCHI LAUNCHES NEW LINE OF CHOCOLATE WITH 70% LESS SUGAR
Innovative -70% Line Utilizes Chicory Plant Fibers High In FOS (Fructo-oligosaccharides), Which Have A Low Glycemic Index As Well As A PreBiotic Effect
NEW YORK, NY (September 30, 2021) — With a nod to the health and wellness practices many consumers have adopted, Venchi, Italy's leading chocolate and Gelato brand, has just launched an innovative new line of chocolate with 70% less sugar than the company's traditional offerings.
Always in pursuit of creating new recipes which are good for both the palate and the body, the -70% line was designed for those who not only need/want to keep their daily sugar intake under control, but also those seeking natural, good, balanced products while still allowing themselves delicious moments of pleasure. For those who read every ingredient on the label of the foods they consume, the -70% line has a prebiotic effect and offers choices suitable for Vegan customers and those with Celiac disease. All Venchi chocolates are gluten free.
The new -70% Less Sugar Line:
- Contains ingredients of natural origin
- Has no artificial sweeteners
- Represents 70% less sugar than Venchi's standard recipes
The science behind the -70% less sugar line:
- The new recipe uses vegetable fibers derived from Chicory instead of sugar, for lighter chocolate
- These are low-GI treats made from natural ingredients and able to stimulate gut microbiota
- This particular fiber is high in FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides), and can be found in various plants. By carefully selecting and processing the raw ingredients in a special way, Venchi can now use this fiber in its chocolate recipes. The products are tastier, healthier and more authentic. FOS has a low glycemic index, limiting sugars and supporting the normal development of intestinal flora. The use of FOS as a functional ingredient embraces the philosophy of 'with' rather than 'without', while maintaining that delicious flavour essential for satisfying the taste buds
New products in the new -70% Less Sugar line include:
Venchi's new -70% Less Sugar range includes bars and chocolates for all tastes: from dark to milk chocolate bars, hazelnut to cremino, and gianduiotto to extra-dark treats.
