Comprital, an Italian provider of ingredients for the ice cream and pastry market, has introduced Pure Vegan – a line of three clean label, lactose-free and vegan bases.

The Pure Vegan line was developed using natural ingredients such as cane sugar and fibres including chicory, citrus and bamboo, as well as being free from artificial flavours. It was created by Comprital’s R&D team, aiming to provide ingredients that deliver an ‘authentic and satisfying’ ice cream experience for vegan and lactose intolerant consumers.

Pure Vegan includes Pure Vegan PZ, a base designed to be flavoured with only sugar pastes; Pure Vegan PG, a base designed to be flavoured with only fat pastes; and Pure Vegan Chocolate, a base with high percentages of chocolate powder and low-fat cocoa powder.

Adriano Bert, general manager of Comprital, said: “The demand for vegan products is becoming increasingly significant in our sector; many people are choosing to adopt a vegan diet for reasons ranging from environmental sustainability to ethics all the way to personal health issues, including lactose intolerance”.

Bert added: ““Comprital has always recognised the importance of this market segment, and for this reason, our Research and Development team is constantly working on developing plant-based alternatives and clean label products. Our Pure Vegan line represents an important milestone in this exciting journey, which will continue thanks to the determination and professionalism of our entire team to offer consumers quality products, lactose-free and developed from natural ingredients.”
