Puratos-owned Belcolade has announced the launch of its Plant-Based White Couverture.

Aimed at chocolatiers, pâtissiers and other professionals, the new solution is said to offer a rich, creamy texture, perfect ‘snap’ and clean, white chocolate colour. It is also free from allergens typically found in other white chocolate alternatives, such as coconut, nuts, soy and gluten.

“Our latest innovation is the result of a close collaboration between industry professionals and Belcolade chocolate experts,” said Youri Dumont, SBU chocolate director at Puratos.

“Creating this unique innovation consisted of trials of more than 50 ingredients in various combinations. Belcolade’s Plant-Based White Couverture boasts distinctively versatile properties and so can be formed into truly delicious, creative products without compromising on texture, appearance or quality.

“Offering customers more choice than ever, it is suitable for pralines, hollow figures, tablets, coatings, mousses, ganaches, dipping and flavouring.”

Belcolade says that its Plant-Based White Couverture is certified by sustainable cocoa sourcing programme Cacao-Trace.
