Carmit Launches Vegan “Milk Chocolate”

13 Feb 2017 --- Carmit Candy Industries Ltd., the renowned specialist of gluten-free wafers, has announced that it is set to launch its new vegan line of milk chocolate snacks, coins and buttons at Natural Product Expo West in March.

The company states that the new product line is lactose free, fully dairy-free and gluten-free, addressing leading allergy concerns with sweet indulgence.

The company says that consumers can enjoy the chocolate treat without compromising on taste, because the product is a ‘milk’ chocolate that is suitable for the vegan market.

“Most vegan chocolate is dark chocolate, but Carmit’s chocolatiers have developed a “milk” chocolate without dairy or milk,” says Adrian Sagman, VP of International Sales and Marketing for Carmit.

“The real challenge in developing this vegan chocolate line was to mimic the taste and texture of creamy milk chocolate, without compromising on texture or flavor, or by using synthetic ingredients, dairy or milk,” he adds.

Explaining how the product was developed, Sagman says,“The Carmit R&D team used simple, clean and natural ingredients, testing a range of raw materials and ingredients, in different quantities, to achieve an authentic milk chocolate look & feel.”

“As experts in gluten-free and dairy-free confectionery, it was important for us to ‘break the code’ of vegan milk-style chocolate that has exemplary flavor,” explains Sagman.

“Vegans and consumers who suffer from dairy allergies deserve a tasty chocolate snack.”

The dairy-free chocolate line comes in two types, white chocolate and standard light brown milk-style chocolate. Both are available in a range of sizes and shapes for each target market.

Tablets are available in 85 and 100g, snack bars of 35g and buttons of 25g bags and coins in Netlons.

All products are available for private label branding and the line are kosher certified.

Visitors are invited to sample the creamy, all-natural clean-label chocolates at the Carmit booth during the exposition.
