Belcolade is launching a first-of-its-kind Plant-Based White Couverture. The company’s Selection W. Plant-Based Cacao-Trace shall offer chocolatiers, pâtissiers and other professional chocolate users more choice than ever before as it further expands the Belcolade’s plant-based portfolio, following the recent launch of its widely-acclaimed milk-alike counterpart. As a result, the supplier now offers its customers a comprehensive plant-based chocolate portfolio – dark, milk-alike and white – all of which carry the reassurance of Cacao-Trace certification.

The Plant-Based White Couverture is a first of its kind for the global professional chocolate industry as it boasts a special taste profile and rich, creamy texture. According to the company, it also has the perfect “snap” that consumers love, along with a clean, white chocolate colour. Differentiating itself even further, it is free of coconut, as well as nuts, soy and gluten – allergens typically found in other plant-based white options.

Belcolade’s Plant-Based White Couverture is Cacao-Trace certified. Cacao-Trace is a sustainable cocoa sourcing programme that focuses on premium taste while creating value for all, from cocoa farmers to consumers. According to Belcolade, it empowers farmers to obtain the highest possible income and to manage their plantations with great autonomy. By purchasing Cacao-Trace-certified ingredients like Plant-Based White Couverture, chocolatiers and pâtissiers are enabling bonusses often equivalent to two to five months’ salary for farmers.
