Product Highlights

• Conched chocolate powder gives real chocolate taste to foods unlike the widely used bittersweet mixtures of cocoa and sugar mixtures. The taste is entirely natural because it does not rely on artificial chocolate flavors.
• Conched chocolate powder has an additional advantage: the fat content is much lower level than in ordinary chocolate. This means conched chocolate powder can be used in reduced-fat and low-fat foods, an important consideration in the modern, health-conscious world.
• Because of the wide variety of uses for conched chocolate powder a range of formulations is available to meet the specifications for different final products. However, since no standard range can meet all needs, special formulations can be manufactured according to customers' specifications.
• Conched chocolate powder and Natural Soluble Cocoa and Chocolate Extracts are made to very high quality standards by long-established manufacturers in the cocoa and chocolate industry which have both ISO creditation and HACCP procedures firmly in place.
